The 8v transplant is easy starting with the Punto 60 engine, you use the same ecu, gearbox, mounts etc. and just swap a couple of sensors over. The exhaust needs to be made 10mm longer or a spacer fitted between manifold and downpipe - but if you're going for a decat job avoid Janspeed as it won't fit (Trust me, I tried, cried & had to flog it
