I have got my 1.6 16v running fine now after fiting the fuel tank and pump off of a GTE.

The only problem i am having now is that when i am crusing at about 1500 rpm in third and put my foot down the car almost dies....i havent got a proper air filter on it at the moment can that be anything to do with it?

your steering should not be too much heavier, its not a very heavy engine.

i don't really know,
did you lower the car before you noticed this? more camber will make turning harder.
How are you top mounts?
check ball joints and track rod ends in case any have seized up
