Not unless you want to do some serious chassis mods and add a very large bonnet hump and modify the sump.

if you want it to go into a cav/astra/calibra

paul had a WIP iirc from putting one in a mk2 astra, similar work will be needed

yea i assumed if it fits a cav it would fit a nova.

the 900 is mounted front to back like a carlton but fwd...like my audi...random
