Its been done down my way but i think its quite difficult cos of the wiring.
The C i seen had the full corsa B dash!
Looked a bit strange...

ive heard of someone saying u need to get the C on the tech 2 and turrn off some sensors to get it to run! not sure on this one!
u planning on puttin the fast engine and having the fastes corsa C in the world then 
would be good to see that done..
the corsa B full electrics may not be the simplest thing to do! but shouldnt take long for someone that knows what they are doing!

Yeah a corsa c with a 2.1 throttle boddied engine would be nice eh.hehe
Nah im just curious as into that sort of thing.Swapping a new reliable 1.8 "power monster" ecotec for the 2.1 xe would be a bit silly but would be something else.
Just wouldnt mind hearing and seeing pics of other peoples conversions out of intrest.

do u need the electrics in the corsa c?
my mate could get the engine in and running no problems.. but not sure ur gona be able to put ur wipers on 
i think u have to weld in the pedal box from the corsa B as well!
cos the C is fly-by wire thing.. but that shouldnt be hard!!

i would say putting a valver in a corsa c is just as hard as putting a v6 in. You have to make every engine mount from scratch the wiring is a right b*****d to you've got to run two ecu's . then there's the hydraulic clutch to get your head round. basically there is problem after problem not an easy job to do but it's worth it when ya floor it
