why what am i looking for on the bell housing?
you need to make sure it looks like a vauxhall bell housing. or the plate on the end of the engine looks like a vaux engine.
Having done a Saab conversion into a mk3 astra and plenty of xe novas I wouldn't reccomend putting a Saab lump into a nova,
they are significantly heavier than an xe and will really affect it's handling IMO
getting it in and running is one thing getting it to handle is another
if you are going to use a Saab lump you'll need to run an abs sensor and a pulse modifier from Dom on mig as the Saab ecu needs a speed input,
I ditched the Saab ecu (and coil on plug arrangement) and used megasquirt and coilpack
Thing is I want to get it right first time round as neither of us want the hassle of putting engines in only to find its the "wrong one" (so to speak) resulting in shed loads more work then we intended or wanted. Basically after the easiest way possible kinda thing.Quote:

its a lot more substantial than the f20 etc?
Still think the handling defecit form the extra (at a guess) 40kg wont outweigh the benefit of cheap saab power!
if you do decide to go down the saab route make sure you get a complete car - it will make your life soooo much easier!
mike, if the corsa is already xe'd cut the fukking leg and fit it man :d
40kg extra over an xe is nothing, a let will be that much heavier anyway.
