right i have a redtop block found, an f16 gearbox, flat type flywheel, ecu, wiring loom, powercap etc, just wonderin what driveshafts would be the best fit, would my corsa 1.4 radiator work without any probs and is there anything i need to know about fitting redtops before the conversion is done?? corsa is originally 1.0 until 6months ago, now 1.4 16v

thanks

Going to need some kind of conversion kit like this

along with other things.

Or you can get the parts from a scrappy for low cost but you still need mounts etc.

Rad and fan will be fine mate.

I've used the 22spline driveshafts from 1.6 sport/gsi as you then only need to buy inner CV's iirc. or you can buy other ones but they will be more expensive.

1.0 12v top hose from the head to the rad fit the best without kinking etc.

Will need a gear linkage from regal or the likes, unless you cut and reweld yours.

You need big block inner cv's to fit the f16 or f20 g-box

Cavvy mk2 1600 ones are what you need if your using corsa gsi/sport 1600 drive shafts

Cavalier MK2 1600 Inner CV Joints
Corsa GSI 1600 Drive shafts
SFI Adapter Plate
Ecotec Pipe
Above not needed if purchasing a powercap.
Engine mount (plus rubber – if 16v model)
Anti Roll Bar Tie Bar Mounts (NOT ESSENTIAL)
MPI Fuel Pump (if car is a SPI)
Gear Box spacers
16v header tank. (if car is a not a C16XE X16XE or X14XE engine.)

You should already have the new engine and Gearbox ; make sure you have the following parts/items:
.ECU
·Accelerator cable.
·Air Flow Meter
·Ignition coil
·Manifold and down pipe including the oxygen sensor (if fitted).
·All the coolant hoses and clips if possible.
·Starter motor And Alt in place
·Corsa linkage from old gearbox now on the f20 or F16
·Wiring loom


Think thats it
