hi im goin to put a 1999 VAUXHALL VECTRA SRI 140 ecotec engine in my nova iv just got the car for 500pounds:thumb: just wondering were i can get engine monts from and what other bits i need!

[maddogdaz666]

think you can use the usual c20xe conversion mount and all the other stuff too, ive seen it done and does look something different from the usual redtop, and apparantly better on fuel!

yeah every one do have the thats the reason im going for a baby xe but you can use standerd gearbox mounts you will need to space the rear gearbox mount out by 10mm iirc, and flip the lincage and then use a bigblock mount for drivers side, will be good to watch and may look nice

no problem glad i can help also if you like to go with out using the bigblock hubs and shafts source gte or gsi shafts and use mk2 cav 1.6 gl inner c.v joints there you have a complete conversion will even give you a shout on wiring if you need it but theres a conversion guide in the ho to section anyhow
