Has Anybody Done This Before. I Will Be Ok With The Mechaniacal Side Of ThiNgs Ie The Engine Mount Etc. Not Use About The Loom. Can I Use The Same Loom Or Am I Going To Need A Gsi Or Gte Loom?

HopefullY I Can Still Use The Same Loom

If You Can That Would Be Grat

Thanks

Clocks, hazard switch are all i can think of.
Oh, and a newer mk2 loom will have fuel pump wires, and a few more fuses in the fusebox.

Nope.
Needs the chassis leg modding to suit a normal petrol mount, and then a 20xe conversion mount.

chop the engine mount bracket off a petrol nova,make sure you measure exactly where it is on the chassis leg then weld it onto your chassis leg. you changing the fuel tank and lines for petrol? i bought a gsi fuel tank and used an intank fuel pump off a 2.0 ecotec,and flushed my old diesel fuel lines out with petrol
