Not sure about the mounts on them to be honest. Might need to purchase a set of conversion mounts?
Shafts would be different I think as it's big block
And some mechanical know how

You'll need food and water too, plus a shower afterwards and a bed to sleep in and a home for the bed to go in

Will depend exactly which 1.8 engine, what year is it?

Gets a bit complicated if its an older one as it'll be a big block on an F18 box I think.

Ideally you want an F17 as you should be able to retain your shafts and mounts.

Sell them both and buy a 182 like you've been wanting to do for months?
