Its from a Nova, so yeah it should fit. The engine should be a straight swap.

They're over there with their new toys. Someone brought them in. No idea who bought them though.....
Exhaust different as far as I know between hatch and saloon - but retain your existing exhaust and use 1.2 front pipe.
You can use your existing fuel tank and plumb the return back into the fuel line using a T piece if you cant find a tank/cant be bothered to change it.
Only thing you really need to be aware of when changing from a 1.0 is the green resistor wire to the coil that needs changing to a normal wire to prevent starting and running issues.
You also need the front drivers side engine mount from the 1.2
you need the 1.2 gearbox too, the 1.0 bellhousing is different.
the wiring is a bit trickier, read this. http://www.pngclub.com/forum/showthr...ngine-in-a-1.0
blimey you guys know your stuff, nice one! sounds a bit more involved than i was predicting, but hey fingers crossed.
