zetecinside.com, and short answer no. not straight forward but not impossible.
firstly you need to cut inner wing to make room for 5 speed gearbox, and same at other end to make room for length of engine. new engine mount welded in, new fuel system, new loom and ecu, mk1 xr2 geabox cradle and driveshafts
