Uk engine will fit but the wiring is different. Different ecu, sensors are different ie Lamba . if you wanted to swap the whole lot you can. Uk engines for classic come I'm 3 forms. Phase 1, 1.5 and 2. Is your engine broken? Can't you buy a spare engine and build that, rather than removing yours, fitting a spare. Then removing and fitting your old one back again?
