Only the turbo TX3s were twin cam on the KEs & in all honesty it would probably be cheaper & have a better result to just buy one of these unless you can take it on yourself & even then it's marginal

Completely disagree. The B6T engines are a straight swap into the KE's engine bay, all you need in parts are the engine with the lot (ecu, loom, turbo etc) and the B6T drivers side engine mount.

The B6T engine will cost you roughly $1500-2000. Do not pay more than this!

Labour on the otherhand will cost you $500-1500. There are people in Melbourne who will do this for you cheaper, look around or post on www.fordlaser.com for information.
