They are all the same size. The differences in the different production year frames (Sonett II,V-4,III) are minimal. Most are add-ons like door safty brackets (located on innear rocker panel). If you are looking to put a larger engine in your Sonett the German Capri V-6 fits. I have seen adds for Sonetts with Saab 900 engine, Mazda rotory, VW engine (rear of car!). The weak link is the transaxel (it was designed for the three cylinder 2-stroke engine, thus the free wheel hub was required so the engine would not over rev, without fuel/oil mix, when backing off the gas petal while going down hill). The 1700cc V-4 engine was rated at about 68 hp!Increased engine weight is another concern worth considering. Good luck!
