all vaux ohc 8vs are J series

there are family1 j series which are smallblock and family 2 which are bigblock

[chappers1.3]

so it should fit then.

i take it the big block engines are the 1.6/1.8 and 2.0?

Thanks

'big block'(series2) engines are 1.8 and 2.0
'Small block' (series1) engines are 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and 1.6

early 1600's were series 2 too (pre 1988 ish)

[DrivingSpanner]

were they! learn something new everyday!!! thought a early GTE had the same engine mounts as a SR tho?!?!?

[snapper]

early nova GTE's had the small block engine. i believe it was just cavaliers and maybe astras that had the big block 1.6 engines. could be wrong though.

the Nova GTE didn't come out till 1988 i think.
