1600 and f16

[16v Nova Kev]

can an f16 be fitted to a 1600 small/short block im asking cos i have been offered a 1600 but in not sure if its a big block or not cos it has a f16 on it :thumb:

[mowgli]

a 1600 big block should be scrapped. they apparently fitted a few to mk3 cavaliers, but mostly mk2 astras & cav's. they are very old now & hard to tune.

[16v Nova Kev]

well not sure if it is thats why i wondered if an f 16 fits small blocks

[Rysee]

my Grandad has a 1.6 G reg cav, its not slow tbf

[16v Nova Kev]

your no help im not asking if they are fast ffs

Whats the engine look like?

[mowgli]

an f16 will fit onto both a small & big block engine. but i wouldn't bother getting it if it was a big block one.

go & look at it... a lot of people have made the mistake over the years that a 1600 must have a f16 box.....

i dont know someone else is bringing it to me:( am i right in saying a small block 1600 will have the oil filter at the front and a big block will have the oil filter at the oil pump :thumb:

its geting brought to me but just found out it has the oil filter at the front :cool:

[mowgli]

unless it is very cheap, or comes with the correct driveshafts, it is not a good option

What gearbox are you running at the moment? Just wondering if it's worth swapping.

[16v Nova Kev]

nae good need an f13 for my 4.3 final drive:d

[mowgli]

i have a f13 cr in bits at the moment, I stripped it down to swap the ratios from a cr to a wr in situ in my car. it has a 3.94 diff, but as its apart, it would be an easy swap..... I even have gm gaskets for it. pm if interested...

im hopping its not a big block cos it would be no good to me craig:thumb:

[mowgli]

they were small block, & got used in the caterham scholarship race series. a local bodyshop used to straighten them, & i had a good look at one when collecting a work vehicle.
