sounds right tastey to me
i've just fitted a ZRX swinger into my B1 after it was monoshocked a while back, twinshocks are the new future
would i be right in thinking the motor hieght can be an issue, iirc the engine will fit but has to be taken out to remove the rocker cover

yucould be right jb didnt even think 2 try remove r/cover when motor was in i think i was glad got the engine in after hours of grindn an weldin , well we live and learn :

I hope you didn't say which Scottish show
