i am wanting to do a engine conversion on my corsa b it is a.10 at the moment but want something bigger options are 1.6 sport.2.0 redtop or 2.5 v6 just wondering if it would be wise to go for a 1.6 conversion then play around with that as i havent driven anything above a 1.4 before

2.5 v6 sounds like the sensible option IMO.

Drive the 1 litre for a few years first, safer.

Plus you'll be lucky if you manage to get an insurance quote with a let/v6 conversion.
