Yes it will fit, but theres lots or work that needs to be done.

Heres a good page giving you an idea, but not all of it applies as its an american build.

Nice choice of engine mate but a hell of a lot of work! Im assuming your 'Driver' is running a Carb and not Injection system? in which case the most challenging part of the conversion will be the wiring.

that engine pulls and sounds lovely mate. if you already have it then don't think twice, no matter what work it takes. it's been done, so what are you waiting for!!?? the wiring shouldn't be much of a problem, i believe there are now looms and sub-frames made for the conversion. i don't know the ins and outs but the guy to talk to is Tim at TSR. good luck, hope you stick with it
