Hi I have owned my is200 for around a year now and love it but engine got water damage in recent floods and it went through the block I got it all out and she started but with a tapping noise as I think I slightly Bent a conrod well anyway took her out for a week spin and unfortunately conrod came right out the block :( so I'm now going to swap the hole engine so was just after some help on where to get a decent 1 and if I will hit any tricky bits on my travels any names hints tips would be a great help to me and greatly appreciated

The electrics are by far the worse bits to get working correctly, plenty of research in advance is needed

I didn't do the original engine conversion but I've done redone everything else since. Ikengineering is the best place for a manifold etc.
