Need a fuel regulator also,

Steve, find a post by DaveyLC (probably his project thread is easiest) and check his sig - he has a link to all the pictures :thumbs:

Although, IIRC, the Vectra's all had the big block X18XE in them I think?

Your gearbox and shafts will be fine to use on the x18xe1

What gearbox is on the 1.4 sport then the F13?

And what about driveshafts, will they be ok or do they NEED to be the 1.6 driveshafts?

Hi all,

For the XE1 conversion what gearbox as standard does it have? Is it the F17 or?

Also does the 2LT redtop conversion driveshafts and hubs fit this gearbox with any fiddling?

And for the engine and box does it drop straight on the mounts (car being a 1.4 16V) or is there any adjusting required?
