Use the engine brackets off the A12 you're removing, lower new engine into place, connect the accessories. That's it. the gearbox will bolt to the back, the radiator hoses line up, the coil is in the right place, the fuel line is where it needs to be. It's that easy. the only difference is in the height of the block, but the standard header will fit the stud spacing, & with any luck there'll be enough clearance so the exhaust doesn't hit. Most people doing this fit extractors & get a new exhaust made to suit.The only problem is the head has a different port size from the A12 to the A14 & a different stud spacing, but the stock A12 carby will fit onto an A14/15 inlet manifold,& is a better bet than the later carbs (less emissions related parts). As for getting it engineered, checking the engine number is no longer a part of the NSW registration inspections,or you could contact an engineer & ask what he'd need done. As it's such a minor change, I don't think they'd need much. My recommendation would be that if you're in Australia, & you don't already have them fitted to the car, get a set of struts with the PBR calipers & discs. these are the same basic shape as all the Girlock brakes on later Stanza's & 200B's,& used the same caliper & brake pad as the Mitsubishi Sigma. I was nearly rear-ended by a Police car once in my 1200 wagon with these brakes fitted, as I stopped much quicker than the Police had expected.I was doing about 120 k's in a 100 zone & they'd just radered me.Hiding in the long grass in the centre divide of the M4 at Penrith.########.
