il try and post pics and things as i go i cant wait im gonna make a start 2morrow morning i hope to be finished in 2weeks starting from 2morrow cos i can only work on it a few hours a day :( it'll be a beast when im finished i got the engine from a astra GTE in the end. oh yeah that reminds me i have quite a few astra GTE spares know so if anyone needs any bits give us an e-mail on Chowse1983@aol.com and if i got it il do you a good deal :)
why the 8v and not 16v when they are the same to fit in the bay?

i dont know what shafts you need to use yet i was planing on working that out when i get there lol iv never done anything like this b4 but i got the car and i got the engine so i gotta give it a go it just has to be done
i recntly done a 2ltr 8v cav sri conversion, never done anything with engine b4, was interesting, know alot more about the eigne now from takling it apart.
Like to get the driveshafts first lol. i want to undertake a conversion soon but due to insurence it wont be a big one
wat, ?573, not too much for my 2ltr nova, or it might just be how lucky i am (cheesy grin)
