quote: was just i could get hold of one for pennies. But the c20xe conversion is tempting at the mo, just as much work as 2.0 8v, but more power (wee bit more on insurance, but u only live once) Ideally id get the c16xe on throttle bodies,(fast, good handling, sound amazing) but thats way 2 expensive! | |

Also, don't get a Nova 1.6 engine, thats a silly idea. Get a Corsa 1.6 engine. You want fuel injection not carbs. | |

You use the Corsa 2.0 front engine mount and the Corsa gearbox mounts - possibly with the rear gearbox spacer... Not sure what its for though :lol: | |

An F16 gearbox is a big block gearbox. You will need all of the big block gearbox parts to use it, so hubs, CV's and shafts. Same as a 2.0 16v conversion..... | |

I was under the impression that the f16 gearbox, shafts, hubs etc could be used? (as they can withstand the torque etc) and simply bolts on? | |

Oh, apart from the power cap, that isn't needed... | |

You would need to use all the same conversion parts, including the driveshafts and hubs for the 8v as you would with the 16v. They are more or less the same engine with a different head on the outside and they use a big block gearbox which needs the bigger CV's and shortened driveshafts. | |
