fit nova shafts
you will need a nova mount kit as the 1ltr mounts are different than 1.2 upwards

a 1.0 nova

a corsa 16v engine (complete with everything)

nova 1.4 or 1.6 external pump & tank
or nova spi tank & astra mk3 mpi pump

a rhs engine mount (bracket) off a nova 1.2/1.3/1.4/1.6

a haynes book

some ability with wiring & sorting pipes out.

Firstly use the right section. There is a mechanical section for threads such as these. Secondly, have a search in the above section. 1.6 16v conversions are not new, so you should find pretty much all answers to your questions.



so what parts am i going 2 need and from what model car please ??


Engine, loom etc. All parts need to make the engine fit and run TBH.

HTH.

You could have moved this thread rather than starting a new one.
