apparently everything is included.....needs to be removed from the car.
my insurance comp were going to let me do a 1.6 16v conversion anytime after october this year. For the past 20 mins i have been trying to ring them so they can tell me to get stuffed lol
Think for this they will make me wait unill i'm 19 (april) for the conversion but for 100 quid i may aswell keep it in my garage until then........good idea?

Buy it stick it in the garge, save the money of a rebuild for only if you need it, these engines go on for ever, I put a 144k engine in recently and it's going on no problems, might be worth running it up to temp then do a compression test to see how the engine is, 190 across all of them is good. good luck.

Can you afford to put the engine in only for it to seize up a few hundred miles down the line?

While it's out and cheap, get it stripped, inspected and rebuilt. Fit uprated cams, get the head pressure checked, have it ported and skimmed, ARP bolts and you're good for another 150k

you'll need the conversion kit from a place like crossvaux for £480 I think it costs or just ask Lee Mitchell to make them up for a price for you, you'll also need the F20

The shaftys, hubs and brakes would be good toot hen you take the hubs out machine them and opress in to corsa hubs and just the engine mount to fit it, much cheaper than a fitting kit.

nope, but you'll still need to buy them though. Also cally shafts are equal length and help reduce torque steer. also randomly it's worth getting the final bit of the gearlinkage (bit that connects to the gearbox to the S bit) as it's useful in the conversion.
