Will a 1.8 and side shift tranny from a '74 bolt into a '71 car? Any issues to be aware of?

Thanks-

sure, change the engine mount bar with it and voila... not much else that I know of for tricks... I think it's plug -n- play!

And shift linkage.

you WILLL need a special bushing for fitting the shift linkage to the firewall too...

If you want to use the 1.8's fuel injection, you will need all of the FI parts. In addition to the obvious ones, you will need the "dual relay" and the resistor pack. Botyh of these hang off of the battery tray, I believe.

In addition to the motor mount bar from the later car, you will also need the solid outboard mounts, the rubber inboard mounts, and the metal brackets for the latter from the late car.
