how hard is it to drop a bigger engine into a corsa c 1.0 12v

i mean a engine from another corsa c, say 1.2 16v etc

whats involved, wiring wise??

and will the 1.0 12v gearbox mate upto the 1.2 16v engine ?

From what I've seen, even another corsa engine can be a nightmare to fit in terms of wiring...ask chazsxi on here

Im not sure if the immobiliser and such cause problems So in theory ANY engine swap will cause the same problems

Something to do with the canbus/cambus (cant remember which its called) system. Dave A and beardy were having a chat about it on here a month or so ago, could be worth searching for.

Why bother changing the engine then

Even if the current ones fucked just replace with the same motor
