£300-200 if I sell the X14XE it has 105k on it, £100 for E16SE and I prefer the revvy nature of the E16SE.

I just want to be different I suppose, and make a quick buck

That doesn't make it good learning experience.

Putting your hand in the fire is a good learning experience for not doing it again.

e16se is a nova GTE engine, C16se is a nova GSi engine

but it probably wont rev out quick in a corsa like it would do in a nova.

+ if your getting an x14xe corsa why not put an x16xe in it then it will be 106 bhp and will be more tunable

August 94 would mean the swap from L-reg to M-reg would it not?

So its most likely to be 16v.
