Is it possible to put an X16XE head on a X18XE1 block?
And what do I need to adapt to fit in a Corsa B GSi

actually yes.... the black is a small block engine, the z18xe is the big block (or is it the other way round...) would think you may need to fabricate some mounts up.....

i believe the 18XE is more related to its 2.0 brother rather than the 1.6

I already found out that:
C18XE(L)
X18XE
are Big block
and that:
X18XE1
Z18XE(L)
are small block

Why do I want to know this?
I've got a Dbilas throttlebodykit, camshafts, supersprintmanifold on my 16xe, sow I donot want to throw that away.

That's why I want to use a 1800 block to connect to my 1600 head.
