Yes. But it requires quite a bit of modification. You should go look for more info in the type4rum at http:\\

get a glass of *translated into English * 'North Sea Oil' good for your constitution, and nothing else.

Yes. Either cut out the offending body parts that interfere with the install, or get the correct parts to convert the engine to an "upright" fan engine. Parts are readily available on-line for this conversion. I'd prefer the stock type engine build-up of a 1600 dp based engine unless I already had the 1800. If you are shopping for the engine, why not get the 2000cc version? Notice the "tongue in cheek" humor, please.
