buttt my question is that will the vxr's current engine Z20LEH fit straight in.. or would i need fabricated engine mounts..
also a bit of an issue i have is my gearbox has gone! so i need to replace it.. but for the time being im not plain engine swap til mayb next summer..
however my tranny is costing me £1000+vat
soo thought id try cheat the system.. would the gear box FOR the Z20LEH work with the kalos 1.4 2004 DOHC engine.. so that way im ready for the swap at least in some way.. rather than having to fork out for 2 gear boxes??
all help will be appreciated..
many thanks

I've seen on the UK ebay sight VXR engines for sale and you want the 6 speed to go with it.
