is it true that i can keep the bottom half of my engine and plonk a 1.6 8v head on top would it work? would it be easyer to refit the whole engine instead of just the head what else would i need to change on my car? is there any way i could put a 1.6 8v in without having to change anything else? can you guys give me some advice and also tell me which 1.6 8v engines would be best i do not want to fit power stearing or injection just all seams to hard and i heard that a nova 1.6 8v would work

Im not sure about just putting the Head on your Block,As i think it would be Diffrent?It would just be much easier to fit a whole Engine anyhow.
You can either get a E16SE OR C16SE Out of the Nova's and some Astra's.The Engine will go straight in.No need for Shafts,Mounts etc.
In your Case i think a E16SE Would proberly suit your Needs best!
Hope this Helps.

E16SE & C16SE Are both Roughly the same TBH,So it just depends really.
Nope you dont need anyting else,Just Exhaust + Pump
