much work?
will i have to strengthen the bay?

[Benn]

Not much, think you can use std mounts and no.

[mk1nova_rich]

mainly electrical stuff thats the headache on the newer engines. but no the bay wont need strengthening

[novaproject1]

cool
my friend steve scott owner of a1 rally sport rung me yesterday saying he had the engine. he will be doing all the work

[mk1nova_rich]

all the mechanical stuff "should" be straightforward (shafts, mounts, linkage etc) but the wiring will take a bit more work as the later Vaxuhall engines have the chipped ECU and transponders

[novaproject1]

need a new dash as well?

my car

i would probably use the Nova SRi/GSi clocks, then use any injection speedo cable with the wiring at the gearbox end.

[Mazz]

Ideally you'll need an injection fuel tank & lines too

z14xep? chain driven cams? you will need all the interior loom from the donor vehicle as well iirc all the immobiliser is interlinked unless you run different managment.
