You need a modified engine mount to actually make it fit other than that fairly straight forward. Few little things like water pipes being wrong size etc

email ian at tech@fiestafrenzy.co.uk and he will help you out

cheers paul
the st170 is the same block as a blacktop

Had some major troubles with driveshafts but sorted that now. Not much room in a mk1 so had to weld water pump and alternator bracket to move it over. Not far at all now really.
