Someone school me on m20 swapped 02's

Is there any kind of bolt on approach as far as motor/trans mounts? What all would have to be made or modified to make this swap happen?
My buddy has a 68 2002 and Ive finally talked him into a motor swap after he went for a ride in my stroked four door. I am trying to get an idea of what needs to be made or purchased for this swap. Anything helps guys.

There are people making mount arms to adapt to stock 2002 engine mounts. The easiest trans is a euro 323 (e21) 5 speed as it retains the mechanical speedo drive and fits the trans tunnel the best.

I have a trans for sale if you are interested.

Also, go to 2002faq.com

For anything other than a e21 5-speed or a getrag 240 from an M42, you're going to need to enlarge the trans tunnel. Also, you'll need to cut some sheetmetal in the nose to fit a radiator, and buy/make mount arms.

It's quite a bit of fab, but check out Deutschman's thread, he's doing all this right now.

I've been looking @ 2002 faq, theres just soo much. His car has a five speed although I don't know what kind. Who makes any pre-fabed parts for this project?
