Hello all..First post so here goes. Got hold of eng n box from the Astra isuzu 1.7TD complete with f16 gearbox. Want to transplant both into 1.7d Corsa (was a van with metal rear windows, now converted to 3 door) also isuzu. The intercooler plumbing etc is easy enough, what i need to know will the Astra box (f16) slot in?
Do i need new box mountings linkages etc?? All help appreciated.

Are you sure it's an F16 gearbox? They are big block gearboxes... Is it not an F15 you got?

I'm sure it's not an F16, it's got to be an F15, the engine will fit in the Corsa fine, will be a straight swap...

Yeah the box clearly says F16. What driveshafts/linkage will i need. Dont want to use the non turbo box `cause of the ratios.

You can use the F16, because when you do a 2 liter conversion, you also can use the f16.
there was somthing with diesel thing (donot know the english word for it) and driveshafts....
You'd should ask on www.corsa-novatuning.nl or www.opel-forum.nl, both dutch sites, but there are english speaking mechanics there.

If it is a F16 you need a 2.0 turbo fitting kit as the engnie is a big block...
