you will need a drivers side conversion engine mount and a rear gearbox mount spacer to get it mounted, then suitable drive shafts: either GTE/GSI/TD shafts and MK2 cav inner CV's, or big block motorsport hubs and shafts.
then a suitable fuel tank/pump, either a SPI tank with a MK3 astra MPI internal pump, or a suitable external pump and swirl pot setup.
then you will need to modify the cav exhaust manifold to mate up to the Nova system. also its very wise to stitch weld the engine bay, and repair any rot that may be lurking, espacially important is the front cross member.
you may find you need a bigger rad to keep it cool enough, and you will cetainly need the 256mm (off the cav) as a mimimum
