Would the 1.8 litres big block engine go into a Corsa A?
Right now I have 1.3l and I can get a 1.8l big for free with gearbox, carb, ... . Will it fit inside or just wasting time?

Yes the 1.8 big block will fit. It requires the same mods as fitting a 2.0.

It is debateable whether it is worth it though as the 1.8 GTE astra only had 118bhp, and don't forget you'll be gaining over 50kg at the front of your car.

Do you have any recomendation for the driveshafts, because 'the buy a custom one' is not working over here?

Use a nova driveshaft with an inner CV from a bigblock 1600 cavalier.
