Nova engine swap

[NovRal]

Hello everybody.

I've bought a c14se engine for my Nova (the 1.4 8v), which has come out of an Astra.

I have just realised the donor car is an automatic (I know, I know, I'm daft), but I want to put a 1.4 sr box onto it.

Have I made a terrible mistake, or will it fit onto it? Is the bell-housing different?

And if it does fit, how much work will it require to do it? Will I need to modify anything or can I just put a clutch, flywheel etc on it?

Thanks for your help.


p.s. please don't post just to tell me I'm an idiot for buying it wihtout realising, I know that already...!

hi there i changed a auto 2.0 16v ecotec to manual box and seemed to work good. just need to change the box clutch and flywheel.

automatic engines are usually better because thay revv higher. all you need to change is the box, you will need a clutch and flywheel suited for that engine and box.

yea just change the flywheel and clutch and the box will go on, i have a flywheel and a newish clutch if you need one
