    As the title says.
    Will it fit here:

    This is what the dimensions of the whiteblock are(turbobricks forum
    -http://www.forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=189628) :

    The 5-cylinder whiteblock is approximately 25" tall from sump to cam cover.

    It is approximately 25" long at the crankshaft and 23" at the head, but roughly 27" allowing for the distributor.

    it is around 14" wide at the flywheel end (not allowing for starter or exhaust) but 20"+ at the front allowing for water pump and alternator etc, but there is scope for reducing this dimension a little.

    No stock mounts were fitted to the engine I measured, but the block itself is roughly 10" wide between the mount fixings, and these are positioned between 3.5" and 11" from the front face of the block. If you're mounting it for RWD you should have plenty of options for making your own mounts to suit to pick up on these fixings.

    And another person says this:
    The 5 pots are about the same length as a redblock 4 cylinder.

    No thanks.
    I want a Lada.

    Edit: and I don't want fwd, it was only the 960 that had a whiteblock in rwd configuration.
