X16XEL, basically a 1.6 with a 1.4 head and a different inlet manifold, easy to sort out by having headwork done and getting a mantzel/lexmaul inlet

seriously, buy a Z18XE, you'll get a low mileage one for the same as a medium mileage XE
and it SHOULD wire up nicely.... if you've got time
all mounts are the same though, according to vauxhall

sure it was said on here that 1.6 can be bored out to 1.8 using oversized pistons. rob get it bought and drop the 16 in it, what happened to your old engine or is that what your using?
