Will a 1.d dt fit a mk2 cavalier ? - surfer

Dear John.My subject is..can a 1.7Dt be fitted into a tired mk 2 1.8 sri engine bay ? If it can be done with nearly standard parts, GM 1.7 (is that the low pressure turbo?) or Isuzu 1.7 ? Will I need to swap driveshafts ? I dont think vacuum pump is a problem on either as this could be adapted.I would anticipate buying a complete donor, then doing the swap. PLEASE dont ask why - each to their own. let those without..cast the first stone etc etc ! If possible - are driveshafts/ suspension/engine and box the same in an astramamx as there seem to be loads of cheapies to choose from but only limited cavalier DT donors as yet.Yours seeking enlightenment !!

Neil
