think you need wiring and ecu plus shafts

I'm pretty sure the 1.8 8v is 90bhp, my ex had one in her Cesaro. 1.4SR engine from a Nova is only 70ish bhp, the multipoint SRi engine is 82.

You'll need all the wiring loom from the cav engine if you're putting it in a carb car, not sure what gearbox that engine uses so dunno about shafts. You'll also need an injection fuel tank and pump if you're going from a carb to injection engine.

there is a 1.8 8v 115 bhp version (in belmont SRI's and early astra GTEs etc)
