I am thinking of sticking the 16v N/A engine in my DOC4 non 16v car.

£200 but was wondering what work would need to be done to fit in my car? I currently have the 3SFE engine in it, I am not sure if it would be a straight swap or not? Also any idea as a rough guess how much it would cost to get this done at a garage?

Mine has recently had a re-spray so the body work looks almost new, no marks or anything, be a shame to waste such a nice body I thought.
