Do any fit on the same bell housing?

We've done a few scooby and a v6 cologne conversion but this customer wants something cheaper, what's the cheapest reliable replacement for a 1.9 dg, what prts are needed from the donor car and what if any special parts are needed?

Thanks in advance,

The last response was to dented devon. Thanks for your response too many toys I think I'm going to give the V6 a shot still as it's come from a T25 and comes with everything need to install it. Is the turbo idea not a good one then? I thought with a reconditioned gearbox geared correctly would be a ...

Thanks for that mate, I spotted the wiki bit after putting that message up. Didn't think anyone would hate me for it mate but will it be a help or hindrance when selling on? I love projects like these usually sticking to old sports cars and bikes but I've kept 2 cars and a bunch of bikes that I've b...

Yeah that does seem a little more cost affective!

Sorry about that Rob, you'll sleep safely tonight in the knowledge that I'll be fitting a perscription windscreen!

Thanks for the heads up on vohringer MM I'll look into that. and does this loydy chap have some lightweight units?

I'd like to end up with something that will surprise people as it roars past them on the motor way, looking at doing the old Baja thing of having bigger tyres on the back with some flared arches and changing the sliding side door into one that's hinged at the top with gas lifts. I'm going to keep it...

Hello lads and lasses! Trying to put together a fast and maneuverable bus. I've got 2 engines a scooby turbo and a 2.2 Ford V6 not sure which one to go with yet but either way I'm going to need to lighten it up a bit so it doesn't eat through engines to quick and so turns corners when I tell it to. ...
