how many times do i tell you this lol -

engine
box - (take it you will use your own)
coil - (not sure if you can use your ohv 1??)
dizzy - you should get with engine etc
water hoses - will match up
rad - will be the same
fuel pipes - should be the same
gear linkages - should be the same

only thing i think you might need is a o/s/f engine mount as im not sure if the ohv 1 is the same having changed my last 1 from cvh to cvh lol!!

my 1.6 scort has fell through lol the fuker sold it!!
