Welcome to the forum mate. Not too sure about the engine conversion...personally I don't see why not! But I'm not too good on the performance part of modding cars! But I'm sure one of the others will be along soon to advise you. I'm assuming you haven't done any Modifications yet...because you said you've just bought it, but what Modifications have you got planned?

dont see why not with the engine but you may have to make custom mounts for it

[roverdriteup]

Hi Roverdriteup and welcome to TorqueCars. The 620 engine will go in a 200 body but you will need to get some engine mounts from a 220. The clutch is (if I remember correctly) hydraulic in the 600 but in the 200 it is a cable job so you might want to see if you can use the 620 gearbox in the 200. You will obviously need to swap out the ECU and replace all engine sensors with those from the 620. The Tomcat engine can be tweaked to make even more power by bending the wastegate actuator arm (don't go too mad though!) MotoBuild are worth talking to - they have a good amount of experience of all things Rover.

cheers for that mate and you are right about the clutches but do i have to change all the wiring loom

It is safest to change the whole loom. I've lost count of the number of people who gave up trying to make a custom loom from the original car.
