I have a 1.2 8v corsa.It's 1995.I was wondering would it be easy to fit a 1.6 8v engine out of a cavalier or astra.Would i have to change the gearbox as well.Any other information about this would be welcome.The corsa is my second car and i'm not looking to fit a redtop or anything like that as i have a civic vti already which is plenty fast enough.I just want a straightforward conversion.Thanks.

It is very hard to get a 1.6 8v nova in ireland but cavaliers and astras are easy to find.
