    I believe that is a 16SV, from a Cavalier/mk2 Astra?

    looks like 16sv to me too.

    should fit on smallblock mounts.
    rectangular inlet ports on the head, with a mechanical fuel pump, and pierburg 2e

    no no no.
    these are bollox big blocks that need a 2.0 fitting kit and shafts.
    You couldn't dream up a bigger waste of time than to fit these engines into a nova

    isnt the big block the earlier 16SH ? ... as ive fitted one of these 16SV's on smallblock mounts before.

    agree'd it wasnt amazing, revs took a while to build up. it was a bit dissapointing after all the work.

    Its not an E16SE. These SV's had an ECU (siemens) for ignition & as mentioned, a carb.

    Unless its an E16SE with a swapped out rocker cover....
