    there is no way that engine will go in a nova, the inlet touches the firewall and the turbo touches the rad

    It will go in a Nova, you will have some serious issues with the NS chassis leg though...

    The mk3 astras you can bolt the Saab subframe directly to the Astra, however the Saab engine sits tilted right back, when coupled to a Vauxhall gearbox, it straightens them up, so effectively giving you a lot more room.

    That engine is unimpressive. I drove a Saab Turbo powered by one of those and it wasnt that nice or impressive.
    I spent 90% of my money on Drink and Women, the rest I just wasted.
