I was told today this will slot into the bay of my corsa B, 1.2 8v engine.

I was told I would only have to change the loom & ecu, is this correct as somebody is insisting I need to change mounts

Think you'd need to change the engine side mount. I'm sure WarrenG or DaveyLC will confirm this 100% though.

okay, is this the only thing excluding ecu and loom?

He was sure I can leave the gearbox, driveshafts in. It'd be great if this is the case. Even one mount...it's not much to do

Yer, I seen someone do a 1.2 using the same shafts and box.

I'm concerned because my block is has 8 valves and the x18xe1 has 16 valves.
Would this be a problem at any point? cheers

Btw I know X18XE is big block and I think X18XE1 is small, is X18XE1 a small block? thanks, everywhere I have read, it is small block but somebody is insisting it's big.

No that'll be fine, just use the 1.2 8v box and shafts

If its a 1.2 8v, the engine is a straight swap.. Mine was a 1.2 8v..

I can build you a loom for £50.

X18XE1 is small block.
