Okay here goes,
the 1.4 SPI engine from a mates astra snapped its cambelt. (mk3 astra..)
now what im wondering, if i was to take my carbed 1.2 engine out of my car...fit it with the 1.4 cam, dizzy etc, would i be able to fit the astra's inlet and exhaust manifolds onto the 1.2 head? would the mountings allow the nova lump to fit in the astra? would the nova's box hook up to the astra driveshafts, or would the astra box fit up to the nova bellhousing?
basicly 1.4 cam, ignition, and fuel injection, on a 1.2 carbed lump.
how, and what do i need to get it into the astra if its even possible? :confused:
looked at it and the engines looked very simmilar...i know the fueling would be off, but surely it could be remapped with a kwp2000 plus or something?
or is it just gonna work out cheaper to replace the lump like for like on the astra?
