head swapping??

[rsintheplace]

a friend of mine has corsa1.4spi he is wondering if he can fit a nova 1.4 sri head to it? is there anything he would need to change drastically or could it be a straight swap? also will the wiring loom need to be changed completely over or can you mix and match using part corsa part nova wiring?

cheers any help will be much appreciated

the bets bet would be to use a corsa sri 8v wiring loom as they are selfcontained and will plug right into his car as it is

u'd then need the inlet manifold, cylinder head, cam box and dizzy/dispak from the nova sri or corsa sri (or astra 1.4 mpi)

u'd also need to get the crank sensor and crank sensor pulley off the sri engine and take the alternator and bracket too as they are different

bolt it all onto the existing block and u'll have almost the same power as an SRi (slightly less due to lower compression ratio)
