The 1.6 out of a mk3 astra is a X16XEL isn't it? Just an X16XE (The 1.6 sport engine) with a different inlet?

If I'm right, different mounts, shafts and hubs?

XEL is the same engine as the XE. Inlets different, don't think the cams are, but it only produces 100bhp, but 5lb ft more torque than the XE.

It will have a hydrolic gearbox, so u'll need a different one.

tbh, theres enough X16XE's about im sure, would be easier to just go for the right engine.
