I have a 2000 plate vectra 1800 ls doing nothing, 
 
And a lad at work has wrecked his corsa 1.6 engine. 
 
 
He has offered me the shell at a good price. 
 
What will I need to get the 1800 in the corsa? 
 
Parts from other cars etc..? So I can get parts in order and blitz it soon as. 
 
cheers

Small block. 
 
He's bought another sport, he's not interested in repairing the old one. 
 
I've bought the shell now   
 
Will collect some bits over the next few months and tackle it in the winter. 
 
I'm not in a rush.
