I am looking at buyin either a nova or corsa and doing a 2.0 conversion myself. Could someone point me in the right direction and explain what kind of things i should be looking into and any other relevant information.
Also How hard is swapping the engine and what work is involved.
Any other comment welcome

Best thing to take first is a corsa/nova with injection and not with carb.
Otherwise you'll have to change a lot more than you think
e.g. fuel lines, fuel pump,...
I don't know if there is a difference between an injection with MPI or SPI

where is the fuel pump mounted on a nova?
also i have read that on a nova you need a modification to the engine bay. Is this the strengthening panels that you weld on or is there something else. I may be interested in buying that manual off you beardy, does it show everything ie wiring of ecu etc.
Also how do you go on with the cooling system and things like speedo(will this be accurate) brake servo, washer jet reservoir. Do these need re-locating.
Thanks for your help lads

On the corsa it is beneath the rear seat in the fuel tank.
Think it'll be the same on the nova
