i thought that you could fit the c20xe flywheel and clutch so that the box fit's, but until i get the engine i wont no.

Early redtop flywheel,use the redtops flywheel bolts as the 3.0 ones hit the clutch plate.not much between the two types mind.f20 box you wont get the benefit of the torque if that makes sense,it will rev past its powerband to quickly.Might be jumpy round the town with the lighter flywheel also,i think the rear exhaust manifold you can use the omega one.Oh and change the thermostat before you put the engine in,pig to do once engines in.The astra front engine mount gets 23mm spacers added,as its a shorter block.not sure how that would be done in a Nova though,custom mount of some sort.;)

I remember your b-reg from pvg days mate, I was registered as nova-myth, good to see your still on the scene.

Not sure if its any harder to wire up but the vectra gsi 2.5 v6 is 192bhp. :thumb:

Ive always thought that a nova v6 would be cool and thats the one i'd want to use if I did it. Let us know how you get on. You got any pics of your nova as it is now?

cheers for all that infomation mate.

yeah mate, it looks same really. for now:D . having it painted glazier white once i sorted out if this engine fit's, never leave the scene. its been parked in storage for last year or so, fitted the bike carb'd engine into an astra estate but bought a vectra sri for the family car so engine going up for sale soon.

think i will b using the 3.0 carlton/omega which ever i drop on :thumb:

how it looks now

ive put the f20 on the 3.0 v6 puttin in a corsa tho but i got a mounting kit off chris ashley and the mount for the gear box is the same as the xe but when the engine is in place on the gear box the gear linkage hits the starters solinoid so is the 2.5 v6 solinoid tucked up out ofthe way of the linkage due to being front wheel drive standard?

which engine have you used mate?
X30XE ?

this probably wont help much
