The 250bhp 2.3 engine in a corsa would be a bit quick.

i was thinking something along these lines, would it not pay to make a buldg in the bonet, just subtle enough for the engine to fit right?

How do tigras have more room? For a start its virtualy same panels as corsa in the bay, and the bonnet actualy sits alot lower at the front. So if wont go in corsa, it definately wont go in a tigra.

(I have a good friend who can help in fitting advice as he has a similar engine fitted into his Corsa - Currently runs approx 350BHP)

Why not just ask them the question?
