   never seen one with a glanza engine in, it is possible but probs wouldnt be cheap conversion involving welding new engine mount points, custom made driveshafts, custom gear linkages, exhaust customised to link to saxo exhaust system, would all have to be wired in and then would probs have instrument cluster issues

   ye i gt a glanza v now, insurance have paid out but let me keep car, i gotta bout 3000 to put into the job, spent a fair bit on engine its about 200bhp, so would like to use it, seems a shame to let it go to waste. if anyone could helpwith saxo engine bay measerments, or of any way i could get them it would help thanks.

   dont even think about it, this will be way over your head by the sounds of it. everything will be custom.
