C16XE into a mk4 astra van?

[novalovingned]

Anyone know if its been done? What mounts,shafts etc can be used?

Reason i ask is i have a spare c16 engine,loom etc and i have the opportunity of a mk4 asta van which needs an engine.

mk4 Astra's (not necessarily the van variant) came from the factory with a 1.6 16v (and 8v IIRC) - so find one in a scrap yard and rob the drive shafts and flanges.

I would see if what you already have fitted to the Astra fits the gearbox before buying anything extra.
