Thank you for your advice, T-Cut. Finding a reasonably sound 1.8T sounds to me sensible solution. Juts it is not easy to find one

I would not be afraid of an demanding project as I have successfully done several when I was younger and had more energy and enthusiasm

Fitting a 2.2 Talbot Tagora engine with a 5 speed gearbox into a fully rebuilt Chrysler 180 (1.8 litre 4 Speed) has been the most challenging so far, but the the truth is that 1.8 upgrade makes not much sense these days and it is better to keep the mothballed car in original condition for future days.
Thanks again! Rgds, Robert
