Firstly, apologies if this question has been asked before, the search facility does not work.
I've bought a nova 1.5 td 1991 complete car and was told the engine it will fit the Corsa 1997 td. I've left the engine from it and the 97 Corsa with the mechanic and he is concerned that it won't fit. He says that the engine mountings are different and has told me that the only way possible would be to strip the engine down to the bare block and head and turbo and even then he can't guarrentee that he can fit it! He hasn't removed the existing corsa engine yet so is only guessing at this stage. He also said that it may be a '?400 plus' labour charge.
Any comments on this very much appreciated as it is causing me a headache!
Thanks
