It's a B16 but i'm sure it will be just similar to work out.

Not in a Nova, but have seen one in a Fiat Uno, was an interesting machine!

Many reasons.
Overrated and expensive. Gearboxes known to be weak also.

Also, the potential vary wildly.

Just FYI mate.

Think the K20 would be too tall to fit in a Nova engine bay tbh. Great engine but might as well leave it in the Honda as its a far better handling and looking car to start with.
