    Alot of mods.need an extra engine mount fitting.upgrated brakes on the front{16v big discs}also have to uprate front suspension {shockers etc} I put a cavalier 1.8sri 130 in my nova and had to get the drive shafts made for them which cost a bomb. if u decide to do it, it will be well worth it. good luck

    the drive shaft have to be shortened, this cost about ?30 a shaft at a place i know(i know this sounds cheap and shit,but my mate had his shaft done there,and there on a twin engined twin turbo`d fiesta given about 700bhp, and they havent broke).
    i also want to do this transplat as ive been offered a 1.8gte aswell.the engine mount is best to be moved, but i dont know how much, but even this wouldnt cost much if u found some one who can do it for u.
