just had me engine fuck up on me corsa (1993) for the second time in 2 months, so i think its time for a change.
currently got an 8v 1.4 sri and i want to stick in a 16v 1.6. gonna ask around a few scrappies for an engine with a guarantee, but what else besides the engine will i need to buy i.e. gearbox, wiring loom etc

nope, i think ur old mounts will be fine. also you can prob use ur old fuel pump too. you might need two nut things of a 16v engine fuel lines, someone else will describe it better
