Will bits off a Chevette not be able to be adjusted to fit? The bonnet will need to accomodate the engine so it is longitudinally mounted (is this the right one, always get transverse and longitudinal mixed up) surely??

You don't have to be limited to vauxhall though. There are plently of different makes of doner parts..

yea, the van is like that but smaller, like the suzuki carry, i know id have to cut a hole for the transmition, i think the drive haft will fit down the exhast tunnel.
