You can do the conversion on the cheap for around £500.
I got the engine mount from "Lee Mitchell" from corsa sport
Then got astra GTE hubs and shafts. I had the astra hub machined to fit the corsa bearing.
You use the std corsa box mounts. You have to grind off the roght hand side of the rear mount so it fits flush to the F20
Then stripped the fornt of the car down and lifted it over the engine, then drop the car on to the engine and bolted it in, and hey presto.
If you are keeping the std inlet then go for an ecotec pipe and either make up a adaptor plate or V-tuning do one.
To fit the exhaust I just the joint ends of the manifold and cat, then slide the cat pipe in to the manifold and used a coule of clips to tighten it. ( you have to cut a few slits in the maniofld so it compresses
Then use the AStra gearlinkage section that connects the box to the s and have about 20mm removed and weld up
Any more Q's give me a shout
