Ive always known that it fits:confused:

Its said to be a very competetive engine in the Nova too.

With regards the adaptor plate, would ebay or similar not have said item?

Bill Faulkner in Scotland is the man to speak to.

There's loads of Novas and Corsas rallying with the Swift GTi motor mated up with the F10 or F13 gearbox.

Eurorallye have had quite a few swift powered nova's. Fab engine 16V and alloy block:D

May be worth emailing/phoning them.
