before you put the engine in you need to machine off the outer V(power steering belt) of the double pulley thats on the end of the crank and change the cam belt and pulleys. you also need to hammer the drivers side chassis rail outwards to clear the alternator.stich/seam weld the engine bay(chassis rail to inner wing / inner wing to suspension turrets)

engine mounts from www.valvers.com ?50 (good installation instructions)

drive shafts, nova gte shafts / cav mk 2 1600 inner CV joints. or get big motorsport shafts and hubs (expense).

put the 2L brakes on to (ya need em).

injection fuel tank and pump if your novas a carb'd model.

then do the wiring as valvers describe in the instructions on there site.
