I remember trading in my N reg corsa 1.2 8v for a T reg corsa 1.6, and on the way home i had a constant grin. Such a good car, wish i still had it.

i did it from a 1.4 to 1.6 (c16xe).. but didnt had a hoist (damn it).. You bought the engine with the mantzel already assembled? Need to put that mantzel.. i heard it completely changes the engine..
