I've bought an Astra 1.6, 4 door in red as a runaround and was just wondering if putting an XE engine into an astra is a simple straightforward swap, using the same mounts, shafts etc
The astra is an N reg 1.6 8v GLS I think, it has power steering/aircon/electric everything. Does that affect anything?
If I would need to start sourcing new mounts and shafts or putting new suspension on, I can't be arsed, but if it is just a case of taking out the old 1.6 and putting in the XE then it is a very real possibility.
Any info would be appreciated.
