Hi all,

For the XE1 conversion what gearbox as standard does it have? Is it the F17 or?

Also does the 2LT redtop conversion driveshafts and hubs fit this gearbox with any fiddling?

And for the engine and box does it drop straight on the mounts (car being a 1.4 16V) or is there any adjusting required?

What gearbox is on the 1.4 sport then the F13?

And what about driveshafts, will they be ok or do they NEED to be the 1.6 driveshafts?

Steve, find a post by DaveyLC (probably his project thread is easiest) and check his sig - he has a link to all the pictures

Although, IIRC, the Vectra's all had the big block X18XE in them I think?
