Tis a fair amount of work involved, as it isn't the A series engine. I think you have to use the Metro subframe, and chop it around or something. Can't remember exactly how.....

it is possible, but juding by the nature of your post, id assume you are thinking of just dropping the engine in to get the car going again....

in which case, forget it!
