Hey folks!
First post on here so please be gentle.
Im originally a Nova nut and have owned 3 Nova's already(im 19), this being my last owned one--



1400 SR lump(1200i shell), Digi-dash, Bilsteins, Speedlines, Strut brace, Powerflow, 2.0 brakes, GSi dashboard, SR interior, smooth boot etc etc
I have since acquired a Corsa SRi for errrrr 'not alot' haha (yes i paid for it, i didnt nick it) so i know a fair share of Vaux facts etc etc.
This is how it looks at the moment...


Anyway.....
My Corsa needs an engine and box. I have since purchased a tin-worm infested Nova GSi with a very clean E16SE lump and F15CR box.....
I see a few of you have already performed such a swap but i was hoping to be enlightened of anything untoward that happened durig your swap and anything i should watch out for when performing my swap.
ANY input would be very helpful!!
Cheers guys!

Use the gearbox which matches the flywheel/clutch (ie. the Nova one if you use the Nova flywheel etc) The mounts are the same, so it just bolts in, then use the Corsa shafts, as they're longer, and as far as I know, the wiring is the same...
