if the 9000 one can be put in a cav...they can be put in a nova :)

Do some searching mate, Ive looked into ti for an Astra MK4 etc.

Will go, but there not easy due to the wrong flow of the coolant etc and where the pipes need to go.

Iirc a corsa diesel radiator has the right flow pattern

Imo it's too heavy for a nova, I fitted one in a mates mk3 astra and whilst being a cheap power per pound lump to use I think the loss of handling won't outweigh the benefits!

it would involve ALOT of cutting (chassis legs) as the saab lump is 2"s longer than a redtop and you dont have alot of room witha redtop in there do you i have looked at this for a while got everything there ready to do it but lack of time has put a hold on it but i would say only attemp it if your willing to cut the front off and build one round the engine

thats what i was worried about was it being to big, and didnt realise it was heavy aswell.

stick with a xe for a min then,

cheers guys
