go to a scrappy and get some bolt end fuel pipes cut em off and join to yours

get a icv and fit it before you fit the engine
timing belt etc

new oil and gerbox oil

and you will need a gsi cat as the 1.2 wont fit

for pics loook in my garage i did this to my old corsa

ok drive shafts will fit

is the engine p/s and is yours p/s?

if there both non p/s you can use the 8v mounts

p/s the engine can be converted to non p/s by using the 8v alternator, a sri 8v lower pulley and mixing the alt bracktry
and a 8v drive belt

to make it non ps just use the belt and tensioner, and alternator bracket from a 1.4 16v non pas.

you will need the 1.6 throttle cable and brake servo hose!
