how many corsa b's have you ever seen in a scrap yard?? not many!!

and as for buying the engine new, your probably better of just buying the whole car new!!!

If you think abuot it though, Corsa C's have been around for about 2 years now, and you're only seeing a few at the scrap yards recently. I think it will be rare to find one at a scrappie, because there wont be many around, they are worth quite a bit so therefore will be quite hard to write off, anyone who writes off a Gsi is likely to buy it back off the insurance company again to break it (i know i would)

Keep an eye oin the breakers, you will find a crashed on sooner or later.
There is a wrecked Corsa C in a yard near me. only a few months old. ok, its only a 12v engine, but the GSI`s will be getting crashed soon.

but if you changed the whole engine and ECUs and accelerator gear wouldn't the fly by wire sort its self out?

it will be a bastid to fit due to the new engine using fly by wire throttle and the old ones using a cable.
