X1/9's engine is mounted transversely.

yes. it is an I4 mounted transversely, and it is a tight fit with that 1300 or 1500 sohc

Hmm. H Prod car. Don't know whether Exxies run full prep or limited prep. Might be a a lot of late nights in the garage to make it streetable again. On a full prep car, you can move suspention mounts around IIRC.

They fit - not too terrible on the mods either.
