You can if you swap the inlet manifold and one of the cams, pretty sure its the exhaust one thats different between the two engines but can check if you get stuck

Look at link to the bottom thread in the "Related Threads" bit at the bottom of this page.

Astra's and Vectra's.

Less powerful (100 bhp compared to 106 bhp) but more torque.

XEl if iirc are from astras no?

If its not like that then its a xel, less powerfull of the two.
