   Got a 1.1 with a blown engine, and a vts engine in the shed.
   
   What are the necessities i need to change?
   
   Is it just a straight swap?
   
   Do i need a different gearbox?
   
   Thanks

   1.1 need the mount welded into position more hassle than it worth..
   
   otherwise i would replace front struts and maybe beam. Suspension and driveshafts
   
   only change front struts if it a 1.1 (3 stud)

   What mount? Much does this cost?
   
   Does it defo have to be done?
   
   Might not bother then, got the car for free, would be worth doing tbh.
