I'm thinking about putting a 2.5 v6 in my corsa sport as i blew my x16xe motor up the other day and i've already done 2 c20xe corsa's. i'm basically after any information anyone might have about doing this.
Cheers,
Mick

2.5 v6 motor or 3.0 cav/calibra/vectra
f20 box cav/calibra
gsi 22spline shafts and cav mk2 inners (or conversion kit)
higher poundage rate springs
decent brakes (2.0 brakes minimum)
thats about as far as my knowlege goes

There's a cheap one for sale on PH isn't there? Much cheaper buying one ready done, than doing it yourself.

Custom Exharst manifolds are needed
Rear hits the rack
Front hits the cross member
