Ok just want to know what mounts & drive shafts I'll need? Also what gear linkage do I use? Is there anything I need to know about this side of it? I'll be using carbs & megajolt so not worried about that side of it. Just don't know what's required to get it in. Thanks

you can use std nova shafts if fitting a f10,f13, f15 gearbox ,

engine drops on normal nova mounts (not 1 litre engine)
and its not a bad job to do,
there's a how to guide on here some where

Use the Nova linkage, original shafts are fine to use as are mounts unless your car was originally a 1.0 then the offside mounting bracket is different and needs changing to one from an OHC-engined Nova

Great stuff thanks guys, only really messed with c20xe's before. Anyone got any shafts or mounts or sale? I've only got a bare shell at the mo
