none at all.

at the end of the day, the corsa doesnt have a 2l as standerd, so its not gonna be a case of just takeing the old engine out and xe staright in, things are different and need changing, i'd say there easy if you know what your doing, and have the right bits. with out the know how or right bits, you'll probs spend about 19weeks fucking about, then take it the other end of the country to be done by a pro :thumbs:

Very easy, 2 days work...

At the very least you need a front engine mount and machined hubs. If you get the fitting kit life will be a lot easier, though they do cost more.

go here for an mtech fitting kit, which suplies everything you need to fit all the parts. includes mounts, hubs and d'shafts also
