Ok, as you can see, im new to this, i dont know much about cars, so your gonna have to help me along!

Once i have sold my Nova GTE and bought a mk2 1.2i Nova (hopefully) im hoping to keep it fairly standard, thats if i dont get carried away with modding it! :)

But, hopefully, in a few years, if i still have the car, im hoping to put in a 2.0 8v engine from my brothers old mk2 astra GTE (130bhp)

Thing is, we only have the one driveshaft. Will the engine be easy to drop into the bay, or will it fit on the mounts, and what about the strengh of the car and suspension?

I dont have the wiring loom or most things, me and my brother are plannig the next few years to perfect the engine with kent cam, skimmed flywheel, etc and other mods!

We already have everything from the old astra! (well, i do!)
Engine
Injection System
ECU
Digi Dash
Boot Spoiler
Bonnet Vents
(1 driveshaft) :(

What else will i need for the engine to run to its obvious capability?

Cheerz!
