in a 120Y (i know - but it may be close and worth checking) you can use the whole 180B subframe and drop it straight in. even has the extra mounting holes in the tunnel for the relocated g'box xmember.
otherwise i think you need a different sump & pickup (L16 or L20 - different bowl position - cant remember now) it fits well with the different sump - a bit lower and further back than with the stock L18 sump.
is it worth it? imagine taking all the panels, glass, interior, dash, sound deadening, spare wheel and exhaust off your 1600. that's about the "difference" - the extra torque over an A15 alone is worth it.

what needs to be changed?
is it easy?
what extra mods will i need to do?
would it be worth it?
thanks guys
