there is only one mount that dosnt fit on the 1.0l 12v and 1.2 16v. and the radiator dosnt fit, and the aux belt also needs a tensioner, they use more of the 16v sports corsa b

Yea the X18XE is big
And XE1 is small

Im confident 1.2 16V mounts aswell yea as the 8V shell differs to 16V shell.

DaveyLC will clear it up on that particular one.

But it's all pratically like for like, little few fiddly bits but nowt major.

Im in process of this conversion atm

Yep, x18xe is big block IIRC..

so x18xe1 is small block?

Even x12xe mounts?

The Vectra B from 98 to 01 is X18XE1

And if it's a 16V corsa then it'll go on standard mounts :thumbs:

actually thinking of it now i know they are not all small block because the astra gsi 1.8s are big block so which ones are small?

[Edited on 24-02-2009 by sumner2k3]

are all the 1.8 16v engines small block? i know the corsa 1.8 sri engines are small block but are the vectra sri 1.8s small block?

what mount is needed to put one of these into a corsa? im assuming a 2litre mount?
