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

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.

the 1.0 shafts will work fine........
