it probabally *could* fit, but its not centred or something? gota sit foreward of the mounts a bit or vice versa.

From what I have found out you will need to manufacture your own engine mounts, move/manufacture the gearbox mounts and modify the firewall. It's a hell of a task anyway, and will require engineering.

CA18DET installation should be easier, but don't quote me on that.
