as i decided to go for power tseering i decided it was to much of a pain altho the 1.6 16v is more tunable than the 2ltr and gives better handling

if youve got power steering then its a pain cos a special one off top engine mount is required for pulley etc..

nope, i think ur old mounts will be fine. also you can prob use ur old fuel pump too. you might need two nut things of a 16v engine fuel lines, someone else will describe it better :|

just had me engine fuck up on me corsa (1993) for the second time in 2 months, so i think its time for a change.

currently got an 8v 1.4 sri and i want to stick in a 16v 1.6. gonna ask around a few scrappies for an engine with a guarantee, but what else besides the engine will i need to buy i.e. gearbox, wiring loom etc :thumbs:
