The only difference is wide and narrow blocks. I am not down with the Astrons to tell you the difference but there is a few threads about it on here

i got an auto and 2.6 out of gn sedan it is an 86 model so it has the cat in the manifold it has become surplus as i am putting manual and 2.0l in it. it wont have a distributor as i am using it or a speedo drive either i think mine will take a manual box not all boxes are the same bolt pattern. also is the rear crossmember offset as mine is not the auto is longer than the manual
this car is all motor real motors don't need forced induction or nitrous and there's no substitute for cubes.
