I probably didn't word my last question too well as it was past pub o'clock and my taxi (wife) was waiting. So, what I was supposed to be asking was if I go for the tranny option which engine(s), heads and gearbox should I be looking for during a scrapyard hunt. Sorting the engine/box, with respect to the regs, is a question for another day, right now I'm only at the "what do I need" stage. I have a reasonable scrapyard a couple of miles down the road and a very good one a 20 minute drive away so if I know what I'm looking for I should be able to find it without too much heartache. Also can anybody confirm which Grande Punto has the right box the 1.2 or the 1.4 as I'm sure I read somewhere that the 1.2 was the correct box?
At the moment my understanding is that I need to find;
Any 8 valve 1108cc Fire engine but one with head casting number 46400108 is best as it has the correct head (other heads are not legal).
A Grand Punto (1.2?) 5 speed gearbox.
