Front to rear engine bay sub-frame

[SuperUno]

I am swopping a 1.3 engine into a 1.0 car, are the sub frames which run front to rear and the gearlinkage bolts onto the same ? Length wise they look very similar, but the 1.3 sub frame look a little different in height ?????

what year is the 1.0 matt ? (pre 98 1.0 stuff is different eh)

 

[SuperUno]

No, both the engine and box.

No, both the engine and box.

in that case you need shafts, support bar, mounts/brackets and rods also matt

Why are they all different then? I thought they would be the same as I didn't think there was much difference.

Sure I recently put a 1.0 front to rear subframe on my 1300 rally car before a road rally as my rear mount was finished

Cheers,
Rob
