in all honesty it is that easy...to make it fi you will need the petrol tank though but ill let one of the others tell you what you need...if the faq/wiki section is working you should have a look there and then you will truly see how easy it is smile.gif

all you need to do is swap the things over and be done with it....cool.gif

you need to swap over the wiring (or adapt the current wiring) as well as change the fuel pump (and the fuel lines/tank though some people have done so without)
