Have a full calibra engine/loom/gearbox ect everything out a car... infact i have the full car  Plus a 1.2 corsa i want to know what iam going to be needing to do to put the xe engine in the corsa? is it going to be a hard job? also will i have to spend much money on doing the engine conversion  Also that means i have to use the 2L box aswell Iam no good at these things...I know folk that will do the engine conversion for me so thats not a problem 
Also will a set of 17" wheels off a calibra go on a corsa?

i presume wheels off calibra are 4 stud, since only the Turbo and V6 got 5 stud i think. so yeah they will fit with some archwork.
go here for an mtech fitting kit, which suplies everything you need to fit all the parts. includes mounts, hubs and d'shafts also

Very easy, 2 days work...
At the very least you need a front engine mount and machined hubs. If you get the fitting kit life will be a lot easier, though they do cost more.

none at all.
at the end of the day, the corsa doesnt have a 2l as standerd, so its not gonna be a case of just takeing the old engine out and xe staright in, things are different and need changing, i'd say there easy if you know what your doing, and have the right bits. with out the know how or right bits, you'll probs spend about 19weeks fucking about, then take it the other end of the country to be done by a pro
