	it wont cost you 1500 quid for the 8v conversion, its normaly 500 quid for fitting kit, 500 labour and 500 for engine - thats for the 16v, 500quid for fitting kit + say 100quid for the engine = 600quid :thumbs:

	It wont cost £1500 to put a 2.0 8v lump into a Corsa. You can drop a 16v in for that money. ;)

	130bhp in a corsa isn't BAD :)

More of a "wonder if i can do this", ratehr than a propper conversion. Do it (you can pic up a cav with the engine in for about £50 :lol: ), get it working propperly, run it for a while, then upgrade to the 16v :thumbs:

	Thinkin bout buying an old Corsa with a fucked engine and dropping in a 2.0 8v SRi lump...there is an unbelieveable amount of Cavs with these engines at the scrappy! Do u need to stregthen the chassis like in NOva's? Most of my mates are qualified mechanics so they'll be doin it... How much do u reckon it will cost all in not including labour as i'l be gettin it for next to nowt.
