One chassis can suit at least 5 car motors and 5 or more bike motors without changing the chassis...change the chassis and you run the risk of nobodies bodywork fitting. I know mine fits Chris's design because I made a chassis first then used that to make sure it all fitted nice and snug like.

Also from what I understand of the IVA you are best sticking to the Donor engine and gearbox anyway unless that ratty Sierra was fitted with 'Busa motor prior to being used as a donor then no worries...
