not sure if this is the right section :confused:

just wondering what cars come with f20 size shafts as im planning to upgrade my nova to big block set up. will an astra 1600 8v have them? i believe alot of astra 1600 were big block

cheers any help

You'll be wanting normal big block inner CV's then big block conversion shafts with Astra GTE 16V type outer CV's and machined down 2.0 16v hubs, most parts can be found on ebay

That's to work a F20 box, what box do you use

I'm running an f13 but planning on swapping side gears in the diff to run big block shafts etc. are the cv's not the same on any other cars? As an Astra 1600 I'm looking at needs same front wheel bearing as a gte Astra which make me assume hub is the same? As would be the outer cv and inner? Does this make sense :/

I got myself confused there,

If your going big side gears just get normal Astra GTE inner and outer CV's and you'll need machined hubs,

Edit, iirc 16oo mk2 Astras ran 22 spline shafts, so the cvs wouldn't work on big block shafts

No you won't be wanting machined down flanges...

So machine out the hub flange carrier and use an Audi bearing to hold the standard size Astra flange then,
