Any thing will fit any thing if you are prepared to cut, shut and fabricate. If you are looking at 1980/1990 then Vauxhall is not a natural fit as thay did not come into F3 until after 1990. For an easy swap you need to be looking at VW or Toyota neither probably as good as a Vauxhall.
Even with the VW and Toyota I think there are mods to be made as the 8v and 16v engines have small differences. The VW for instance needs a small spacer between engine and box or the crank machined because the 16v tail is longer.
With the Toyota (hearsay this so could be wrong)I believe it is the MR2 engine you need and there is a problem using it inline which necessitates using a crank that is actually from an alloy blocked engine.
An engine never used is a Fiat. I know later than 1990 but there are Dallara Fiats about and I think that the road going 16v is iron block.
It is always cheaper to buy a complete car. There are some F3 cars on the Mono site.
