Seems to go backwards quite well……

[@craigdouglasmartens7037]

Does it fit on the standard 1.7i mounting points? If it does it's a winner!

[@MegaDirtyberty]

Yes, the Niva I fitted it to was a 1.6, afaia the 1.6 through to the 1.7i is the same. You can use the Niva gearbox but have to use the Niva flywheel (and drill the bolt holes to a bigger size, 12mm iirc) and clutch and cut a notch at the top of the bellhousing for the bolt on plate at the back of the engine. You can also use the longer Fiat "ZF" gearbox and it's flywheel/clutch but will have to somehow shorten the gearbox/transfer case so it fits into the standard Niva transmission tunnel.

[@MegaDirtyberty]

Additionally, I made a different exhaust manifold to move the turbo, the original exhaust manifold had the turbo sitting where the Niva engine mount was (being as the engine I used came from a fwd car). I also remade the inlet manifold as it interfered with the brake booster
