well i recently bought a c20xe engined corsa, but i've been thinking i need another c20let in my life, BUT my mate has recently given up on repairing his broken vectra gsi, and just happens to have a refurbed, rebuilt and 60k vectra 2.5 v6 engine sat there in his garage, inc loom & box etc.....

well i am in NO WAY mechanically minded to take do this alone, but how hard really would it be to shoe horn into the corsa.

i.e. what work would have to be done in total so i can work out which route would be better...

any help appreciated,
Doely

has been done before, the exhaust manifolds dont fit, they have to be specially made and are very tricky, engine mounts are also a problem

U2U beardy he did one of the best

they arnt as quick as a C20LET, probably the same speedISH as an XE, the noise is fantastic though!

beardy has the c25xe not the x25xe would prob struggle due to all the extra's they have fitted to them but could be wrong
