hi guys, just bought a astra gte 2.0l 8v so i can put the engine into my nova, i know i can use the gearbox and tha but is there anything else i can use off it for the conversion ?... also a question for you to answer if you can ,

1) i know i can use cav mk2 inner cv joints and standard nova driveshafts but can i use the astra 1's off the gte i just bought ?

cheers jamie

yes you could but that would mean changine the hub. you should use 22 spline drive shafts (nova gsi) and use the cav inner cv's. you will use the engine, gearbox, loom, i would advise a bigger radiator (nova gsi) and the exhaust manifold. you will have to make a exhust that joins onto the astra manifold and downpipe. hope that helps.

cheers greg would there be anychance of using the astra radiator ?

Nope.
A 1.2/1.3/1.4 rad is ok to use, just a gsi one is bigger and better.

you can also use the brakes form the astra and the fuel pump to juice the engine up
