RE: 1.8 16v
GTE's are shite!! Onse my car is sorted I'll eat GTE's for brekky!! Thanks for the tips guys..
RE: 1.8 16v
GTE's are *****?Erm.. ok then.U spend ???'s on getting ur 1.8 16v engine put in and all the bits, balancing etc to make it run and then dont be upset when u get whooped by a lighter car, with a lighter engine and more horsepower per tonne/engine capacity.I seen it done mate,2.0 8v nova lost miserably to my GTE, go 2.0 16v properly or turbo or dont bother.
RE: 1.8 16v
I think u will need to change the fuel tank as when I had my Mk1 Astra 1.3s and converted it to a 1.8i I had to change the fuel tank as carbs run on different fuel pressures compared with injection. Also have u thought about engine mounts and having upgraded front suspension for the extra weight.
RE: 1.8 16v
Clutch, speedo and acceterator cables may be usefull. Fuel pump, just in front of the tank usually. Header tank?
FAO: FAT SEF
