nova 2.0 conversion

[nova 2.0 is soon 2 come]

soon to be carrying out a 2.0 8v conversion.i currently own a 1.0.would it b possible 2 use my original outer cv joints?i have a F20 box,would i use the 22 spline gte inners,or could i use cav inners?would these mount onto my driveshaft?any help appreciated

well i have done this myself and the way i did it was i got MK2 Cav inner CV's with Nova GTE 22 spline shafts, as i brought the shafts brand new i got the OUTER CV's with them, but as far as i know you can use any nova outa CV's, they all go into the hub but not sure about the shaft types.
If your engine bay is carroded or rusting badly in anyway you'll need to weld it up, are you doing this anyway?

being its a 1lre the mount will need to be chnaged...

wel the cars only done 24k so it shouldnt be to badlyusted but i thought about having it welded anyway just to make sure.i work for vauxhall anyway so it shouldnt b to hard gettin some driveshafts and theres plenty of vauxhall scrappys.what mounts have to be changed and is it a case of a straight swap?

[Aragorn]

the engine mount on 1.0 is identical to every other nova bar the TD

the engine mouting BRACKET is different

u need a new bracket anyway for the 2.0 conversion so this difference is irrelevant

[kieran]

where is the cheapest place to get the new brackets for the 2.0ltr conversion

i got mine for ?65 from a place call Cossvaux in sheffield. They are better then the PVD ones and alot cheaper, they are also better then PVD as they alow the 16v belt cover to fit in aswell. but will be perfect for 8v conversion as i have them.

cheers for the help.appreciated alot.does anybody have the web address for crossvaux or any way of contact?
