!.8-2.3 Gearboxes compatible?

Hi all, the CF (1974) I recently bought is a non runner and the current engine is a 1.8. I want to put a larger 2.3 in it and would like to know if the 2.3 will happily bolt straight on to the automatic gearbox, or if I need to change/modify that too? Also, would any of the exhaust sections be compatible?

Thanks,

Nick

yes everything will fit with no problems.

the only thing you need to watch for is the flexiplate to mount on the 2.3 crank

you probably need to remove bearing in the centre of the crankshaft

Ok thanks Gethin, I'm going to try to get the old engine running, but if I have to swap it out I think I'll go to 2.3.
