Now i know its not a nova but im sure someone on here will know. Ive got a corsa sport x16xe... Ive got a chance of getting a 1.8 vectra for nothing and was considering putting it into the corsa. I know its not that much more power and that id be better off putting an xe in it etc etc. If i was to do it what would i need? Like i said id have the whole car id just like to know about mounts,shafts, fuel pump and wiring etc.

Any help is mucho appreciated! :D

Same amount of work as fitting a redtop mate!

You need big block shafts, or 22 spline ones with mk2 cav inner cv's
big block mounts, gearbox spacer
samw amount of rewiring.

What Year is the Vectra? If it is a 'S' 98 on it should have the small block 1.8 in it. And in that case not very hard to fit. What vectra is it? Is it the big block or small?

For the power gains its probably not worth it as they're not very well catered for with regards to tuning etc.
