bigblock conversion help

[nova-taken]

hey guys

ive set about putting an 1800 ecotec engine into my nova,

just a few quick questions before it proceeds,

i have TD nova shafts, 22 spline inners nd stuff, but the shafts i have are too small for the 1800 gearbox.

what is there i can do??
first ecotec build so im a tad clueless

REP will be added for any relevent answers

cheers

conversion inner cvs you need.

[let_nova]

from a mk2 1600 cavalier iirc

[*Dave*]

chris astley motorsport sells the cv joints you need.

i have just done mine mate but an xe, you use the 22 spline shafts and 22/34 mk2 cav 1600 inner cvs (shaftec no - PJ16) is the exact one you need!

just ordered them with motorfactors, cheers guys

just been reading up on a site i stumbled across, which states that the inner workings of the inner CV i have from the astra i broke for parts (which fits the 1800 gearbox) can be taken out and replaced with the inside of the nova CV. gonna getmy grease on tomorrow i think and see if tha actually works beofre i fit the mk2 cavvy CV's, worth a try i guess, atleast if they work i can keep the cavvy ones as spares til the nova ones die.

what you all think??

[let_nova]

or go bigblock shafts? with big outer cvs?

[nova-taken]

funds are a bit low for that kinda talk lol

but you think that this will work?

if so it would probably make the XE conversions a lil less expensive if you can still use the original shafts huh

[let_nova]

but with the cavvy inners you are using nova shafts. nova gte 22 spline shafts with cavvy inners, the cheapest option.

if you opt for big shafts and big hub flanges pm me.

[nova-taken]

but for those who dont got the 22 spline shafts, if you can do what ive read, the only thing that would need changing on the standard shafts (say for instance off a 1.2 merit) would be to get the inner CV off a big block shaft and change the insides to make the big block CV joint fit the standard 26 spline shafts.
