The easiest way would be to purchase a full XR2 and swap the full engine/suspension set up. You would be confident that you had the correct parts and it would save messing about trying to find indiviual parts. You could then break up the XR2 and you would recoup the cost easily. You wouls also have the luxery of being able to test drive the car to find any problems before you do the swap.
