Ive got all the major bits for turbo build now, block/pistons/rods/gearbox etc but I have a 998 sitting there fully dressed.

What bits off a 998 fit the 1275? Im meaning the likes of oil filter bracket?, alternator/bracket, water pumps, pulley wheels etc etc. Are they all different or will some fit?

There both a+ engines 85-90

A lot of the peripheral part will fit such as:

Water Pump
Alternator & Bracket
Starter
Dizzy & drive
Oil filter bracket but maybe not the pipe
Rocker cover

The front pulleys are different, the 1275 uses a damper whereas most 998s are a plain pulley.

Front covers are different, the 998 does not have a breather.

Gearboxes and transfer cases are identical, but the primary drop gear is different.

transfer cases, sorry for being dense is that the flywheel housing,? or is the flywheel housing the front cover? if so this is one of the few parts im missing! for 1275 but you say the drop gears different. Does this mean that 1275 gears wont fit in a 998cc flywheel housing

Yes, transfer case and flywheel housing - same thing.

The 1275 gears will fit. It is just the crank tail is thinner on the 998, so the primary gear is different.

brilliant, thatll save me about £100 all in, the water pump is virtually new, all transfer gear housing is spot on as well. new alternator, well itll mean i have more cash to sort out the rotten shell!

Sods law as well bout the primary gear, its the only one im missing!

Got breathers on transfer case on 1275 though but you can do that to the 998 one.

Hi,
Yes, I'd recommend drilling the transfer housing for the breather before it goes on.
Cheers,
