i did pay $200 about 3 years ago for a bbm conversion..
but it came with everything.. manifold+throttle body,airbox+piping,throttle cable ,accelerator pedal,heater pipes thermostat housing ect.. but you should be able to get it cheaper now... |

$500 will generally buy you an AU motor.... if not a Ticky
I can get E series motors for <$200... and honestly I wouldnt pay much more than that for one, let alone just the intake side!! |

yer ive thought about the engine conversion but am not that confident in carrying out it out myself, thought a BBM conversion might be a better starting point for now.

Can i expect to gain much from the BBM conversion?? |

Not sure how much to post but its complete i have three of them of motors that had blown head gaskets but let me know after you check the wreckers out as its no hassle to put in in a box and post it.

Be careful - it's been reported on here that the BBM won't clear the XG bonnet.
Not much detail was said about it - you could try Xfalcon and AFF - someone's probably done it and documented how they did it.
