2. can i run this engine on an f10/4 box?
3. will the corsa gsi pump + sender fit in a 1.2 spi tank?

1. HG set from motorfactors for about ?20, about ?50 for genuine Vaux
also allow about ?10 for head stretch bolts.
2 yes but expect it to blow up as the 10 refers to its Newton/M2 capability and the c16xe largely exceeds this.
3. i cant answer this (but i assume u are talking nova 1.2spi tank?)

if the corsa gsi pump is an intank one then yes it will fit

F10 box wont fit.

[loggyboy]

Y not, its small block?

[Adam]

C16xe has a F15, which has a larger bell housing to clear the c16xe's larger clutch/fly.
F10 bellhousing is smaller, hence it wont go over the fly.

Need a f13/f15.

Or have to swap clutch/fly to a smaller one to fit a f10.

[Sloth]

the reason i ask is that i remember an old post about people using f10 with c20xe's. so if i swap the fly wheel and clutch it will fit? oh and one more thing how do i tell if a f13/5 box is close or wide ratio. (preferably without stripping it)

The gearcode is stamped on the end plate. Might need a wirebrush to be able see it.
