you can put a 1.6 in, and tune it up to 2l standard with the rest of the money that a valver would cost.

it will hadle better, and insurance will be loads cheeper

You don't need uprated driveshatfts, engine mounts etc for a 1600. Don't forget its a standard corsa engine so strictly speaking nothing need upgrading but it'd be worth doing brakes/suspension at the same time.

dont bother with a 1.6 in it mate try a 1.4 16v because the 1.6 engines a hard to get hold of at the right price with a low milage and the wrinig would take ages to
