u need nova engine loom, ecu , gearbox.

Use corsa engine mounts if u dont have pas.

Looms are colour for colour.

Nice conversion to do tbh!

yep - good strong engines, as long as its not a high miler and been thrashed. Both 8v, so straight drop in i believe.

Oh, and you wont need to fit a cat converter by law, coz the original engine didnt have one

This is incorrect. I know a local boy with a 1990 Astra GTE 20XE engine in his 94 corsa SRi, and he chose this engine deliberately so that he could get away with out having a cat. He's passed 3 MOTs with this engine in, at 2 different test stations, and both have told him it goes by the year of the engine.

Whenever my bro takes his valver nova in for an MOT, they check the engine code/year and set the emissions level by this.
