    Does anyone know anything about mating an 1800 16v Mk2 lump to a suitable RWD gearbox, in particular one from a Sierra?

    Potential project question...

    There are companies which will make pretty much anything fit but you need to ask yourself how much are you willing to spend?

    well yeah... just wondered is all.

    Looks like a non-starter, we've just been measuring up and it doesn't look too practical!

    My brother has been given a Lada Estate and rather than go the usual Fiat Twin Cam route, we wondered if the valver lump might fit!

    Looks like a 2.0 Fiat Twin-cam then [}:)]

    Don't fancy the k-series, Zetec is a possibility. Gonna go measuring up at a scrappies soon! We're currently thinking twin cam Toyota lump out of an AE86 Corolla... Cos we know where we can get a decent motor for the right money!
