Iv already wired one of these up. just cut the loom from the engine only leaving the usual wires to the oil pump, alternator, starter, temp gauge and so on these will need to be joined to the 14 16v loom, them take the black wire from the 1.4 16v loom and place on to the nova ignition live, the green from 14 loom to coil (-) side! you will aslo need your ecu live. (thick red) to battery.
you do have the chipped key dont you? cos if not you are in a world of pain mate, after m reg they all had chipped keys and wont run without them, it will just keep cutting out after about 5 seconds. it will need decoding around ?180.

i havent got a lump 4 mine yet. im just tryin 2 find out how easy it would b 2 swap the engine over. wot drive shafts, mounts etc do u use?

[david dixon]

the mounts and shafts can be used off the nova engine cos it's a small block engine and they all fit in the same place.

I take it you were serious then james other day then mate. Get that engine sorted will be top.

[david dixon]
