Agree with sexy Sophia Bush fitting it is not as hard as people make out and has beam done before. In many ways its easier than fitting a BE4 gearbox to a TU engine as there still 3 rod shift and cable clutch. I never got why it was so untrendy when its a perfectly good engine that it not a bad weight if its a alloy one and fits nicely in there. With some basic fabrication skills you should be able to do it your self with no real problems.

don,t believe them --its not simple + bolt in .
you would be cheaper to find a pug 205 + drop in that mat least all parts are bolt on and if you start with a 1,1 or 1,4 pug 205 then its about same weight as a saxo.
but why would you bother when you can same bhp from a saxo lump for less than it will cost to do an engine change.
if you have unlimited time + a welder ,a lathe ,a milling machine and all labour is for nothing --forget it

But if you start with a 1.1 or 1.4 205, then it's not an easy fit either is it?

correct as the engine bays are different and needs lots of work to the inner wings to fit
