It would surprise you just how sought after a lot of XR2 part are. There is
still a very big XR following not to mention XR racing series. There are
regularly 30 plus Mk2 XR2s doing club racing at Knockill and the national XR
series is shown on Motors TV. The sum of the parts is worth considerably
more than a full car.

The easiest way would be to purchase a full XR2 and swap the full
engine/suspension set up. You would be confident that you had the
correct parts and it would save messing about trying to find indiviual
parts. You could then break up the XR2 and you would recoup the cost
easily. You wouls also have the luxery of being able to test drive the
car to find any problems before you do the swap.

Subj: [Quantum Owners] ohv to cvh swap
the engine has gone pop in the Quantum so now the time is to swap
car has a 1.1 at the mo and i want to put in as 1.6 cvh.
thing is I'm unsure of exactly what was used to build the car and
what
i need to swap.
as it stands the car has a 5 speed box and rear anti roll bar (i
don't
know what difference that makes to spec though) it has solid discs at
the front . the drive shafts are not of the type with 6 bolts at the
inboard end so i assume they are the type that click in, if I'm
correct its only the 1.3 - 1.4 that have the bolt on type so i may be
ok?
I'm aware i need to change the front right tie bar + mount but id
like
to keep the gearbox as its sweet so my questions i need to know
are...
1. will the cvh bolt up to the ohv gearbox? I'm assuming it may be
the
same box as they are both 5 speed?
2. ill change the clutch anyway as a matter of course, will any fit
or
is there a preference?
3. can i re-use the driveshafts? bearing in mind i also want to re-
use
the hubs?
i understand ill also have to faff about with the rad / exhaust etc
but can you think of anything else I'm likely to need to alter to fit
the 1.6 cvh to the car as is? I'm not after an xr2 replica but just
to
get the xr2 engine running in the car
i really would appreciate it if you can take the time to answer these
questions for me
much appreciated and thankyou
