I've made a set of mount templates using a MK2/3 G10A* and the K-frame from an auto MB. At the moment I'm waiting on Ceej to get back from the USA so we can do a test fit in his ute and make sure the clearances are right. If it all works out I'll put together a video or article (with pics) about the process.

*The reason I specified that the motor is from a MK2/3 Swift is because the gearbox is larger than a MK1 G10A, which makes the install harder.

Are the early and late gearboxes interchangeable between the early and late engines.

I've currently got Mk1 engine and box in the car with a major camshaft failure. Was going to swap over a later motor from a complete running swift I picked up for next to nothing. Will I need the later gearbox too and have to change mounts?
