Engine mounts are in different positions, the edic motor needs to be wired in along with the fuel control relay, change transmission bellhousing as well, that's just off the top of my head.

X 2 on that
The engine mountings are different, and depending on the year the gearbox mounting is also different
Recommend that you use the BJ cogbox instead of messing with bell housings and input shafts
I did the mod the other way around - I took the B motor out and fitted a 2F
