If a Pinto will go in, so will a Vx.....
Just so happens that they are the same height from sump to cover.

Yes it fits, there are quite a few XE Indys.

Fits in quite nicely, not as tall as pinto, a bit lighter. Engine mounts need to be fabricated (fairly easy) MK might actually make them now. Injection wont fit, carbs ok. Bellhousing and sump available from sb developments, yukspeed, QED.
