Hi ive been offered an X20XEV engine for 75 squid which can probably be bartered down a little.
108k miles
just needs water pump!
comes with everything ie wiring loom
drive shafts
hubs
radiator
can be heard running as still in car
is it good value, considering im in a 1.2 corsa with an eye to a conversion at some stage
anything id need to look out for or anything or is this engine any use to put in a corsa etc!
Any info greatly appreciated

I think they're good for 136bhp. Basically the same as an XE, but the XEV was refined to meet new EU emission laws. Very tunable engine though nonetheless. Easy enough to put in a Corsa too, go for it for that kind of money
