I put a 3 cylinder metro engine in a 95 Metro that came with a 4 cylinder. Everything bolted in except the front transmission mount hole in the body was missing. I drilled through the frame rail and used a long bolt and nut. I purchased a wrecked 3 cylinder car for parts, axles, mounts and brackets clutch cable, speedo cable were all different lengths. Your 96 is OBD2 also so you have a crank sensor and a second oxygen sensor that I did not have to deal with. After the swap 50 mpg was a reality with the 3.79 ratio trans that came with the 4 cylinder. Also a economy cam and +10 degree cam gear from Superf1y really helps with the tall gears. Good luck
