I am using Merkur suspension, trans, diff, etc with a Cortina 1600 engine. Merkurs are really scarce here, there is currently only one XR4ti on Ebay in the whole USA. It is up to $3,000, reserve not met. The XR4ti motor is incredibly heavy, it takes two men and a small boy to lift the cylinder head off the block.
If I was starting from scratch right now, I would go with the MX5 Mazda as the donor, there are tons of then here.
