what sort of price do you reckon Paul, for just the engine on its own and also for it fully transplanted?

The owner of the 20v is asking for £1000 for the complete engine and all ancilliaries jim. As for putting that into a mk1 it should not be too hard, mainly just a wiring excercise so i would need to research that (plenty of info on the US boards).

Yeah, wiring...don't forget plumbing coolant into exhaust side instead of inlet, and converting the C60 shift levers, but that is indeed about it(would still love a blacktop w/Blitz turbo kit)......

Worth considering what sort of 3SGTE you'd get for a grand though, 20v clips used to be cheaper than that...

a grand for a silvertop is a bit steep for my wallet (unless its got the 6-speed gearbox as well in which case its a little better). id want to pay less than that for a blacktop with the 6-speed box though really. was worth asking, im after a quick and easy N/A powerfix for my car, think il go back to the 2ZZ-GE plan...
