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.
