Not much challenge.  Use an Alfetta oil pan and pump, and Volvo 122 motor mounts
. . . they're shorter.  With a 1750, you can use the 101 flywheel and clutch or
convert to the diaphram clutch using one of several methods to convert it to
mechanical actuation.  It will fit under a Giulietta hood . . . barely.
