My engine never went 'wrong' as such

Fitting a 22 litre V12 Merlin engine would make your Corsa sound like a Spitfire.

The Merlin engine in the Spitfire was supercharged, the same engine was used to make the Meteor engines for tanks, but that was naturally aspirated.

MKXII will do, its not a merlin, its the griffon engine, but a 36 litre supercharged engine putting out 1720 hp will do nicely in my little corsa
