Take a step back.

What do you want to use the car for? If it's just for a car to have a bit of fun with and you're not planning to build it with a race series in mind, then ultimately any common configuration would result in a fun car to drive. Even a car with a Crossflow fitted is still a fun car to drive today.

Use too late a donor though and you'll need to fit a CAT to pass the IVA emissions test.

Which isn't that much of an issue really.

Well that depends on whether you don't mind spending hundreds of pounds on a little metal box that turns CO into CO2 and has no life threatening sharp edges that might cut your knee!

you can't fit 13" wheels on the sierra uprights can you?

nope....14's are a squeeze as well

Talking on exhaust CAT`s, what year do they need to be fitted from?

When you go for a n MOT with a kit car and has an engine that needs a CAT on the original car, will the MOT tester actually know what engine you git fitted, only ask as when i have been in the past with cars they just want to know the engine size.
I ahve taken a diesel car before which was a petrol and they didnt bother aslong as they knew what fuel the engine was running.
