I have a solid nova to turn into a track car and also an astra gte convertable thats super rotten. Im going to take the engine from the astra and put it in the nova but just wondered if theres anything i should know before doing so? I guessing i need a mount kit from chris astley but would it be possible with astra mounts?

Also, is there an online tuning guide for this engine or any recommendations for it? Going to stick with this engine as going for a cheap as possible build

Cheers guys

Cheers lee. Pretty much cleared that up. What about tuning though?

8v's respond well to a nice camshaft to start off with, coupled to a decent exhaust. Loads you can do depending on budget :)
