Hi Folks,
I've got a 318 touring and I'm looking at a cheap 2.7 short engine.
- Is it possible to bolt this straight onto my 318 gearbox?
- If so, Will I need to use the 318 or 325 flywheel and clutch?

-are the engine mounts interchange-able from 4pot to 6pot? ie will my 318 subframe already have the holes drilled to except the 6pot mounts?

Cheers for any help Ali
