thanks (in advance)

The engine is identical to any other m50; the sump and gearbox will be different to allow for the drive to the front wheels.
But why piss about - drop the whole drivetrain in!

As stated above the sump would be different but could still be used.
The transfer box can be unbolted off the gearbox to leave you a standard gearbox on the M20 version, it might be the same on the M50's too.
I would be interested in the ix sump if you want to sell it?
