[SRlew]

right chaps! just looking at a 2.0ltr 16v corsa. if i buaght it and then wanted to put the engine in my nova, would the mounts be ok? could i just chuck it in the nova? also would a 1400 8v go into the corsa previously xe'd corsa?

any help apprieciated, lew

You will need nova mounts to fit into a nova, corsa ones are different. And yes you should be able to fit a standard engine back in unless for smoe reason its been done very pikey and they have cut bits out.

cheers bud!

Shafts are different too so would need nova jobbies.
