:D
Hi people I'm thinking about puting in a 1.4 16v engine what gear boxes can I used?Ihave 1.2 which has the 5 speed box(im told is same as the 1.3sr but not sure on that) Is this an easy conversion to do?
I have better breaks so don't need them,do I need a different petrol tank or lines?
:-/
Where can I get one from?
The scrapy's round here seem to only have base modle nova's and cars of simalar age!
What the going rate?
:-/

Expensive and not very common.
As far as I know a 1.4SR box would be best - F13 CR.
You could buy a 1.4SR engine and then get the head separately.
I should think you would need a tank out of a 1.6?? with a swirl pot in?

u could use a 1.2i spec tank

didnt the 1.4 sr`s have a f10/5
the sri had the f13

yep I'm wrong and yur right Ste! ( as usual:D)

Also Sri tank - any injection 1 with a swirl pot.

Other things i got wrong: the 1.416V block runs a bigger flywheel than a 1.4SR which means that the gearbox mod isn't as easy as I thought. Since most of these engines come from Corsa's or Tigra's (some later 1.6 Astras and Cavaliers as well so I've been told)you would need a box out of 1 of them.

16v Nova - Toolkit, Trouble, Points and great expence all come as standard :)

2.0 16v back soon :D

hahaha, u need either f13/f15 gearbox, and nova gte running gear.
Fuel tank/pump/lines. Requires a bit of wiring aswell (nothing major)

Exhaust fitting is different aswell. Personally i wouldnt put this engine in. Ud be much better off with a 1.6 8v. Which is lighter and has more power, and is much less to buy and setup!

how cheap are talking about for the 1.6 8v?
