None but you only have to change the engine side mount to fit any of the 1.2 to 1.6 OHC engines or a baby 16v

So
1.2st
1.3sb
1.4
1.6 8v
1.6 16v
1.8 8v
1.8 16v
2.0 8v
2.0 16v
2.0 turbo
2.5 V6
3.2 V6

could all fit if you just change the engine bracket

stop being clever bazil... all std factory fit small block engines use the same engine & box mount rubbers.....

the 1.0 also has a different bellhousing to the ohc engines, so the box needs swapping too.
