There are plenty of Vauxhall engines fitted to Caterhams/Westfields etc so i would imagine someone will be able to supply all the parts required as a kit of some description, you;d definitely need a bell housing adaptor plate but not sure what else.

try having a look on one of the kit car forums

what about omega stuff?

i know absolutly nothing about vauxhalls tho, so may not work.

i do know that with ford pretty much all gearboxes are the same bolt pattern so are all interchangable (not sure on new focus st as thats a volvo unit)

of course the flywheels and clutches differ tho
