I am not so sure of that... the front of the Fox is likely to be too short
for the 5-cylinder engine.  On the 4000 with 4-cylinder, the radiator is
mounted in front of the engine, and on the 5-cylinder 4000 it is offset to
the side a la 4Kq, Coupe and urQ.  On the Fox there is not much room in
front of the 4-cylinder engine even with its radiator already mounted offset
to the side...
