   Hello
   
   I am putting a VTR engine in to a citroen AX and was wondering how much if any strengthening will need to be done in engine bay before fitting?
   
   Cheers

   Drivers side engine mount wont be a straight swap IIRC - If its the same as 1.0 and 1.1 Saxo.
   
   Someone else will be able to clarify.
