My RWD C20XE Chevette build

The engine should be timed up without the bottom pulley on mate

never time it with the alternator pully on it... there all different, so the mark doesnt line up..

help me out here... a chevette is based on the kadett C iirc?
in that case you want a manta 18s mount and kadett c rubber on one side, and an Omega A (carlton in the uk iirc?) rubber on the other side.

manta 18s sump, but you dont need the pick up pipe.. there overpriced imo. just bend the c20xe pipe a little, that's the only difference between them. lengh is the same.

Correct mate, a chevette is a kadett c with a manta/cavalier mk1 style front end

cheers, in that case you need:

manta 18s mount with 1600 kadett C rubber on the right side, and an omega A rubber and mount on the left side.

lol i need to find the manta stuff first. the sumps possibly dont excist lol. and the rear axles have vanished lol.

but thanks for the info on the engine mounts and pick up pipe.

thanks for the comments as well guys :)

and thanks for the timing belt information.

Drop it in the 5 door :p :p

you can fit any axle you want.

we placed a manta B gsi rear axle under my mates kadett C coupe.
its just a little wider, thats all.
kadett C 1600 axle is even better, but there impossible to find and F'ing expensive.

the mounts are easy to make, my mate made his own mounts (placed the engine a few inches backwards)

edit**

you're planning to run carbs iirc?

what's also an option is kadett D gte ignition or from an ascona 1.8i. bolts straight onto a c20xe.
then run a pegeot 205 1.9 gti dizzycap. it's the same on the inside but it's shorter then the opel item.

i'm not sure of the clearence with the heater though.
