Big block iirc - 90bhp. I would assume it'd use the same mounts as the 2.0 8v/16v, but don't quote me on that.

Better off fitting a 1.6 MPi engine, or if you really want carbs, 1.6T40.

For the weight of it it's not really worth it. Simlar performance could be seen from a more or less stock 1.6 lump and that's less work in the bay.

you may as well take the engine out and mount a cheese and ham toasty under the bonnet.

As these guys have said, the 1.8 8v is a waste of time.
If you still wanna do it you'll have to ... mod the front engine mount / chop chassis leg to clear alternator / cut & shut the manifold to fit / sort gear linkage / sort some shafts as you'll have to run an F16 or F20 box .... pretty much what you've gotta do to stick a 16v motor in !!
Is this gonna be going in the fat pink beast ?
