right then its engine time,

iv got just over £1k for an engine, a LET is just out of reach, + it will more likly need rebuilding so cost is out

any engine sugestions, the £1k must include (if large block) shafts mounts ect:

20XE on carbs? Not sure how much the mount kit etc is, but fitting cams into that price would be nice.

[General Baxter]

its got to be used everyday, + being a W plate, i doubt it will pass mot with carbs

[mowgli]

ecotec.... maybe a 2.2... just to piss everyone off

[General Baxter]

i was thinking of just sticking some secondhand throttle bodys on it

Carbs can work well on a daily if set up properly, as long as you don't get addicted to the noise and the MOT will be for a 2.0 Corsa... which defaults onto a pre 93 test.

No it doesn't it defaults to a 2000 Corsa, you need proof of engine age to get away with the pre-cat test, so the engine has to be from a Vauxhall made before the 31st August 1992!
