if your staying auto then you will need to swap over the driven plate on back of engine and probably the inlet manifold/carb as not sure how the kickdown works on these..

also are they both aluminium head engines? cast iron heads and aluminium heads dont have the same valve pattern so the manifolds are completely different..

other than that if they both from Arrows then its a straight nut an bolt swap

yeah you can use teh whole lot.. and go manual..

what I emant was an auto car dont have a flywheel it has a driven plate that teh torque convertor fits to so you would need to fit this to the manual engine if you wanted it to go automatic..

(and yeah vic would quite like a v8 as it goes)
