What work time and cost would there be in changing a 940 into a t5? bearing in mind i already have an engine or would it just be cheaper to get the redblock up to 300bhp+?

the engine will bolt straight onto the gearbox but their'd still be alot of custom fabrication to go with it. I doubt the engine mounts will bolt on & seen a few people use shortened 960 sumps for this conversion, it would also need a bloody good auto electrician to fit the T-5 loom/ECU into the 940

The red block is a far stronger engine mate so stick with that, Smithy is the resident expert on these matters for obvious reasons, he got nearly 300bhp with stock internals, forge it and a big turbo and your looking at 500bhp
Edit.. t5pete is putting a t5 engine into a 240 i think so ask him.

Arguing is pointless....she may not be right but she's never wrong

Its alot of work but alot easier to fit the t5 engine in the 940 as it has a bigger engine bay.
fitting the engine in is the easy bit but its all of the custom work thats the hard work, new manifolds custom engine mounts either notch a hole in the fire wall for the dizzy or run coil on plug there is loads to do and god i certainly wouldnt like to pay someone do it, it would costa absoulte fortune.
Also it can be done to fit the t5 loom but will never look pretty unless you want to start extending the loom and then finding a place for the ecu to got.
Best thing to do is rip every thing out thats controlls the engine and go full standalone that way you can make it look really neat.
