Will an F16 fit a small block 8v?

As above really!

why? I cant see any benefit in fitting it

[loggyboy]

yes IIRC but fly wheel needs changing or sumthing. Have a look on here or RB for posts by PhilGTE as im pretty sure he fitted on (or is fitting one)

[craig0120]

yes will fit but you need a different clutch or atleast a different friction plate as the splines are different on the box

[craig green]

You will need a bigblock flywheel that would bolt to your crank. Then bigblock conversion shafts.

No need tbh. The 1.4 spec in your sig wont make enough torque to bother an F13 or F15.

Phil managed to fit one with relative ease.. (Phil GTE)

But as said, unless you have a LSD in it or something, just fit the F13 or 15....

even with a lsd the f13 is man enough and an f15 would be more than ample. I've never had any major issues that were not down to wear and tear anyway, thats with the diff cranked up and running the 4.18 f/d which only increases and stress's the box has to contend with.

Thanks for your replies!

Reason I'm asking is I'm close to getting hold of wide track kit and spoke to a bloke at Walden about their kit. Thing is that I will need to run Astra or Vectra shafts for the width and thought these never came with an F13 so I will need to change to F16.

Clutch - after buying an F16 one will it be a straight-forward fit?

[Philsutton]

why not run corsa shafts, you can use the astra shafts in a corsa so just use the none gsi corsa shafts an they should do.

See my WIP on RB - its very easy to do (now I worked it out for everyone)
