Not really.

When I took my 1.4 SR engine out of the Nova and when we lifted the X16XE into the back of the van they weighed about the same.

Corsa with GTE engine in? Right thats a worthwhile conversion...not

I don't think you realise how much more Corsas weigh compared with Novas.

corsa's are 'chubby'

nova's are 'skinny'

Easily, if not more.

Engine bay has'nt got as much strengthing, doors on the Nova weigh next to nothing, boot weighs nothing, wings weigh nothing, the floor is just a thin piece of metal.
