Hi, I have a complete Nova GTE as a donor car.

Basically want to know what gearbox/driveshafts I need as I know the engine mounts are the same just unsure if the driveshafts are.

I understand that I also need to fit an Mpi fuel pump to my 1.2 8v (can get this off the Nova). And then obviously I already have the engine/gearbox/looms/ecu's/mounts etc of both cars.

Do I need anything else? And How hard is the wiring side of it?


Cheers

dont know if you can keep the current Corsa driveshafts, since all Corsa ones are the same.

yeah GTE has the F13 box mate...so I can basically use the Nova engine, 'box and driveshafts and just slot them into my corsa?

decided I'm gunna twin-carb it up now anyway so wont have to worry about the ECU

I will still put the Mpi fuel pump in though yeah...?

Cheers lads
