Is the engine mounted correctly? I've loads of room between the bulkhead and the inlet manifold.

in a corsa theres loads of room between inlet and heater matrix pipes, its usually novas that are very tight against the more central matrix pipe, never known corsas to be a problem
new inlet looks a top job by the way rick

I really want to but want a really good shell to start with.
Unsure what route to go with a nova but the idea of rear wheel drive with engine in front keeps popping to mind.

Well gang no update really, corsa is still on the lift with the head off waiting for the rest of the engine to come out, im hoping it will magically fly out tbh! I really cant be bothered with it at the moment, only thing i have done really is started to port my coscast.
I need a huge bucket of enthusiasm!!!!
The corsa as it is now...
And my coscast..

at least thats one reason to put it back together but once its back together you woulnt want to get rid of. its stunning, its fast and its a sleeper. no one expects nearly 400bhp.
