If u have identified the' engine and box' it might help by mentioning what they are! Answers can then be more specific. U might have got on better by posting this thread on the 700/900 etc Section (see below) where people are only too willing to help with all the info

Yes.
This should be in the 700/900 section.

If you swap the same engine+box (from the correct matching years) they will run fine.

Buy a load of sticky tags and write on them while fixing them to the engine and wiring loom parts in your car before removing the engine.
That's what I did.
Swapped in a new engine (not box)
and amazingly it fired up first time!!
