    Do it. Most of the V6 corsa stuff is straight out the box. No harder to wire than anything else.

    Go on www.ima****inggayandiownacorsaB.com and search.

    I was 19 in 1990, so an xe was only a couple of years old.

    My 16v astra had a filter and a zorst, well quick..

    A Corsa needs a LET, XE's just aren't quick at all in them.

    rick, the corsa v6 is very easy if the corsa has a big block already in it. you can use any size v6, but its best to run the cali/cav manifold setup, and the loom, and it wires the same as the xe. earlier the better as it wont have a chipped key. it wil run a 3.0 or 3.2 on the 2.5 ecu as it "learns" the engine. you need to trim the bulkhead near the servo, and move the rad forward for space. call chris astley, he sells the mounts cheaply. use your current box and use an early xe flat flywheel and clutch. the exhaust is easy but it needs the mani or the down pipe cutting and welding to miss the rack. ill find some usefull links...
