What other 2.0 can you put in a nova ?

[Nick]

I was just thinking the other day

Why don't we see Vectra engines in nova's ?

There is probably a very good reason why we don't.. so don't beat me too hard. Im guessing Price and performance means that theres no poiint ?

but aren't there any other 2.0 apart form the c20XE c20LET that you can do a conversion with ?

I'm thinking about doing a conversion next yr when i'm at uni (not using the car) and am trying to think of ways that i can make it unique

[Chris]

the eco-tec has a different type of mount. They bolt from the side. But this could be converted i would have thought. But they are down on power from the XE and more expense

[Stuart]

but they are less suceptable to the heads going porous.

and due to no one wanting them, you could blag a good price.

vectra 136bhp
xe 150-156bhp

mounts are the same once you remove pas/aircon

depends on your imagination lol

if you want a change to the normal 'stick an XE in it mate' route, why not do a front engined rwd? go to a big autograss meeting and you'll see a fair few ideas.
