I would've thought the engine would be too big too, but just the other week I saw an old Mini with a Type-R lump shoved in there. Reckon it could be possible if you go to the right place.

the engine is too tall for your engine bay, i read on ssc someone tried it but even at crazy angles still wouldnt fit, i'd say go down the forced induction route mate

If you look, in both the Xsara and the 306 the engine is tilted back to fit, it's a tight squeeze in the 306 let alone a Saxo.

Plus it would ruin the handling balance, putting a shit load of weight up-front is not clever.

Plus it's only 167 bhp, you can get 145 bhp out of a VTS engine with a few simple mods, and it's lighter.

You might as well go for forced induction ... or TB's
