    I think a 125 typh engine fits in with the usual grinding...(if im wrong someone will correct me ;) )

    of course the 125 Runner fits in with the usual grinding, and yes you are going to have to use the 125 Radiator and fan....

    But these 125 into 50 Runner conversions are frowned upon on here!!!

    much easier to just buy a 125 Runner in the 1st place ;)

    I don't think its as simple as dropping it in m8, no doubt you will be able to get it working. But what about getting it legal? Not so easy/ cheap I imagine... I've heard stories of DVLA asking for a receipt from a garage to show the works been done professionally, and so on... I'd look into it properly before you get started, i.e. work out all the costs compared to just going and buying a 125 runner!
