    I would have thought it would be a big block, my old mk3 astra 1.6 was a big block.

    i bought a 1.6 sv out of a cav for racing but to be honest i didn't know what i was buying at the time. However, it seems to be a little more powerfull than the other cav engines that the others have put in their novas for racing. I don't know if this a true fact but it definatley seems to be the case. I haven't as yet made any mods to the engine, but i have with the carb. The only thing that's been done is, i've shaved a little off of the plastic cam on the side of the carb to allow both of the flaps to open together. I read somewhere that the second flap opens at the begining of the mid-range area, this is for emission purposes and i'm not sure how it would come into play during the emission test. It does make a difference but only slight.

    could anyone tell me if there is a vauxhall that comes with a LSD as standed that will fit into a F10/F13 box.

    cheers.
