It should fit but why are you putting an older engine into a newer car. The new age models have stronger internals etc.

Sweet. The only thing I have my classic to break as its not economical to repair so saves me some cash by transplanting the engine. Unless I can get a cheap low miles one??

Have a look in the for sale or breaking section you might be able to find something.

Don't forget the jap bug ECU will be expecting AVCS and TGV's to be present if you transplant the whole engine......or are you swapping the short engine only ?
