It will fit, and work, but it will probably have longer gear ratio's (slower acceleration) and will wear out quicker...

It was an F13 that cam out of my 1.2 8v, and i'm keeping it for my 1.6 conversion. Also a lightened fly wheel for free as the one I got with the 1.6 weighs a lot more than the one from 1.2

That s bollocks. ALL 1.2 8v's came with F10 gearbox. Unless you can prove otherwise

IF the F13 was meant to be on the 1.6 engine vauxhall would have put it with the 1.6.
The F15 is designed to work with the 1.6 best so use this box, ya dont wanna be removing the engine again to fit the right box

but then again, a very small number of X16XE 1995 GSi's were fitted with the F13 anyway. All ratios between F13 and 15 are the same except the final drive.
