David,
If you want to use the 120Y on the road, you will need to get an engineers
report on this conversion. You do not need to use any adaptor if the
gearbox you are using is normally suited to the engine. As to modifying
engine mounts and gear box cross-member, any competent engineering shop
would be able to make these up for you although it may involve paying them
to come to look at the car to take measurements or delivering the car to
them to do the work. The stanza clutch would be suitable. I just completed
putting all stanza running gear suspension included into a Sunny coupe and
it works very well. The 120Y should be similar.
Cheers,
Feral Errol

probably a stupid question but do I need mod plates?
if so would I be better getting an engine conversion place to do it for me
since I've had no experience modifying engine mounts and gearbox
crossmember
also the engine is coming out of a stanza so can I just use the hydraulic
clutch from that?
