Little bit of info. I believe the 2.3 head bolts straight onto the 2.0 | |

good stuff. looks like a may give it a go. time to get on the hunt for a 2.3 lump, may aswell start with the bigger version of the 2. Anyone know the engine code of the 2.3/2.0 'later' engines i should be looking for? time to see if theres any local :) | |

yep it doesnt look that bad tbh theres no that many wires. probably same colours. id like to try and push about 450 from a standard lump. shouldnt take much | |

Whats the wiring side of things like or do you not know? i assume il just use the saab engine loom and the vauxhall car loom still? | |

theyre also a very very strong engine in std form. ive seen one in a nova a while back. fella said it was simple. | |

if you get a engine thats after 93 the vaux big block fits so so do shafts and mounts etc. then you need an engine mount making for the engine side which isnt to hard go knock a bracket up and then you just need it wiring. your best buyng a full car then you can test and label the wires and pipes so you know where to connect in the corsa. im still thinking about doing it to my next project | |

its easy to do just make sure you get a post 93 engine and not a pre as the gearbox wont fit | |

Think someone put a 2.0 t in a nova not sure if anyone has done it with a 2.3 would be very good conversion tho | |
