How difficult is it to put a T16 engine into my T8 classic, also what else has to be changed.

Well - it's a bit more than swapping heads. I did a pretty comprehensive write up on the subject - after converting my beloved Saabine from 8 to 16 valves, including transferring the LH electronic fuel injection - which is at http://www.turboteameurope.com under 'Projects'. As are pics of a similar project by Angus M. Smith, who retained the original 8v Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection by fabricating brackets for the latter's injectors and warm up regulator.

Good luck,
Eric
