you need to change petrol tank and lines (i think) or it mite just be the end of the lines (kinda a different conection), engine, dont know about mounts, think you mite need a bodywork one, brakes, zorst... think thats it, all of which should come from the other car

you wont need a fitting kit to fit a 1.6 cos you can get the parts out of other 1.6 corsa's

go for it for £300 and see what it's like - for £300 you can't really go wrong.

Perhaps its just a special discount for you. or maybe he meant - you supply everything and he'll fit it for £300 - I think you need a fitting kit as well don't you? so thats a load too...

you would struggle to get a LET for 1.5 k, your looking at £3k to supply and fitt it usually. i wouldnt get the 1.6 doen there purley because it so cheap. would want to ask why it was so cheap

snottysnowy1 if this turns out to be a good job and decent engine, could you u2u me with the places contact details, as it will be cheaper for me to go to them rather than buy an engine and fit it myself. thanks

got a quote today to have this conversion done and was amazed at how low he offered me it for... to take in my 1.2 8v and drive away a 1.6 16v he was gonna charge £300 supplied and fitted... gonna get it done when i get paid this month..

also enquired about 2.0l turbo as his price was so low on 1.6 and this was the usual 1.5k price...just gonna stick with the 1.6 and tune the balls off it over time...
