Things you will need to be able to answer:



"No, you don't have to replace the motors every 30 thousand miles! That was in the 60's and earlier!"



"Yes, you can get over 300hp with only 1.3 litres!"



And, "it looks like a beer keg with two triangles in it (creating three chambers, gas, spark and exhaust)"... 9000 RPM!"



Your love your 7! Good luck!

You would have a car with less miles and more gasses coming out the tail pipe. Assuming you don't screw anything up along the way.

A motor with 310k is running at its best! Before you swap it out. take it out and drive teh snot out of it!



Welcome and enjoy your car!
