The GTX doesn't use the 2 litre twin cam (XU10J4) I believe they came
with the 2 litre 8 valve unit (XU10J2). Only the Mi16 and LeMans
limited editions came with the twin cam 16V unit.

When I was in London this summer, I found it very hard to find either
the 1.9 or 2.0 twin cam engines. They go very fast at the breakers and
usually will go for around 700-800 pounds.
You'd have better luck getting the same motor out of a Citroen BX
GTi16. Make sure it is the "16" as the normal BX GTi's have the 8 valve
unit. BX's are plentiful and are worthless.

As for places to look, I'd just pick up the auto trader and look in the
classifieds at the back, there's usually at least a dozen
Peugeot-Citroen specialists there.

Best of luck,

Robert Cullemore
