90-94 1.6l 323 to 1.8l gtx swap parts guide

I've been asked many times what I needed to swap a GTX engine from my 1.6l engine.

*91-96 EGT or 90-94 Pro LX tranny.
*EGT/Pro LX Speedo sensor (we jerry-rigged the 1.6l tranny speedo sensor buy putting spacers where it would bolt to the tranny so the speedo gear would line up with the tranny gear, the 1.6l speedo is longer so it passes the tranny gear and the gears dont line up so we made it taller basically).
*EGT/Pro LX Speedo cable (if you decide not to jerry-rig the 1.6l speedo sensor).
*EGT/Pro LX Rear, front, and right tranny engine mounts/brackets.
*EGT/Pro LX passenger and driver side axles.
*EGT/Pro LX half (aka jack or innermediate) shaft.
*EGT/Pro LX clutch and flywheel.
*EGT/Pro LX clutch slave cylinder.

-Also to get the reverse lights working wire splicing will be involed because the connectors are different. Parts listed are basically what you need to get the engine in and running, of course theres add-ons such as BOV and IC etc. etc.

Hopefully I didn't forget anything...

Was the engine/tranny/axles assembly a bolt in affair? Any difference in wheel to wheel distance? This type of project could work for me, since I have a wrecked LX sitting in the back yard....

Thanks! I have been looking into doing this conversion on my 93 323.

I had a list going and you added some more parts to it.
