A bit of research and a Puma 1.7VCT will pretty much just bolt in.
I will have to trim the slam panel somewhat. Need to find out if it's integral to the structure of the car. it is spot welded in place at the moment. If it isn't I will remove it for the conversion, modify and bolt it back in.
Need to find out if the IB5 in the KA now will bolt up to the Puma engine happily.
Wiring shouldn't be too much of an issue for me.
Wait... I lied.
It's a massive arse of a job.
You need to alter the driveshaft length, custom make a drivers side mount, either use a ka gearbox, or make a custom gearbox mount, then you have got to get the wiring to work and the PATS if you want the Puma engine to run correctly and loads of other little tweaks.
I'll stick with the 1.6 Rocam.
