the engine will bolt straight in on standard ohc engine mounts

the rack will be a bit wider, but some of them can be modded to fit a nova.

Engine and box are prety much a straight swap, wiring's no harder than an XE conversion. The steering rack should fit with a little enlarging of the hole in the bulkhead, might need the steering arms shortening or some different rod-ends fitting.

Yep as above. The rack will need the arms eather changing for nova ones (not sure if its possible or the corsa ones shortend by about 1inch on each arm iirc. PM if you need any more help as ive fitted the 1.4 16v engine which is almost excatly the same as the 1.6 and i had planned to fit pas but ive now decided to do it later int year.
