Depends if you got everything with the engine, loom, ecu etc.

u just use the standard nova mounts

you will most likely need to change from polyvee to std-v belt alternator

this entails finding a bottom pulley from a crank sensor equipped car with v belt (nova sri or mpi small block astras) and the corresponding alternator and bracket (or space the pulley out on the std nova alternator and use nova mounting bracket)

exhaust manifold will need fiddling/xtending

you can use any F13 or F15 gearbox

i'd suggest routing the loom thru the passenger side as there is a nice bracket for it under the glovebox

if your car is 1.2 or 1.4i then you'll need to fit corsa gsi or cav/vectra/astra mpi fuel pump carb models will need an injection tank
