The pistons in the GT are slightly taller than they are in the VTS, giving it a high compression rate. So ideally, the VTS with lower compression would be better.

I'm using a VTS engine now as it's being turbo'd. I'm just going to use the GT engine in regards to getting the management all set up on a standalone. Then I will sell the GT engine and purchase a VTS lump.

Then removed the loom.

Removed the engine mount which was on the gearbox, just so I could get to the bolts in the bell housing easier.

Okay, so dragged the tool box and crane outside ready to crack on with a few little things. Hoisted up the engine on the crane.

First things are strip down the engine and see what sort of condition it is, already been told it needs the clutch replacing.
