Whats this engine like, is it an easy conversion?

or more, depends how much you want to blow,

Bad points engine immobiliser, see the engine running before you buy.
Take the key and transponser so it work in your nova.
Use GSi, SRi down pipe and connect to GSi system.
You may find the alternator pulley touchs the bulkhead when cornering,
if so swap for the nova alt and chage bottom pulley for one from GTE for V belt. That's it really good luck

just to add to that........

dont use a bottom pulley from a GTE :P
needs to be late spec SRi/GSi with the crank sensor markings on :)
