Its a small block engine, use standard mounts, standard engine bay, standard shafts.

thanks mate but the ecu has been chipped and remapped and all flatspots removed and it goes like a redtop in my opinion

it wont have the same power as a redtop.

Its not power that breaks engine bays, its hard cornering and braking. Imo any nova thats going to see hard use needs welded, be it a 1.4 or a v6

standard shafts are fine, even with 200hp, the only reason for using gte shafts with valvers is the convenient way the spline count matches up.

I'm putting a C16XE in mine the now. Decided to weld it, mainly cos it needed it but also to strengthen.
