They're different cars mate. Lot's of people have put later model engines/gearboxes in. But Forde went the whole hog - engine, gearbox, R180 rear end, brembos, dash, etc.

Do a search for his driveway thread.

As said alot of people have done the 6spd conversion it's not overly complicated. And alot of people have swapped motors perhaps speak to Doug at STechnic as that is where most of the conversions happen.
