Will this work, without *too many* customised/modified accessories..??

OK - This SHOULD be fine. As far as I can tell you're going from an E3 to E5 which uses same mounts, wiring, gearbox, everything should be a straight swap and bolt in fine.

Now I could be wrong as it's a KC and I haven't checked out the 1.3L that were in them (personally I always steered clear of em) but i've never heard of a B3. B6 was always the norm as far as I knew in the KC.

Either way the gearbox will interchange. That I know for sure. What you need to look at is the mounts and the wiring loom. See if it's much different if any. Just be careful before you start.
