   Id use a van tbh, alot more room to put it in. Or any estate with a big boot. You can get one engine in the saxo boot, not sure about two, never tried.

   Its not really a project though is it if its easy. Putting an engine into another car is like a running repair to me quicksilver is just a saxo its the same. I wouldnt go to that much effort fittin a saxo engin into another car which it dosent jus bolt atraight into.

    As people have said it is not to hard to fit it in to a metro though preferably you want a diesel to start with. They also fit in the early mini but it is a tight fit. One of my friends has one in his mini van. The AX is nice to but done tones of times now.
