right, ive got a corsa gsi and planning on putting a 2.5 v6 in it. ive been told that the c25xe and the x25xe are alot easyer to put in compared to the v6 engines in vectras because the inlet manifold comes from the back of the engine. is there any corsas on here that have got the vectra v6 engine in?
thank you

If you are fitting the Vectra engine it needs the front engine mounting from a cav v6- I ran into this problem when I bought the engine mount kit from Chris Astley. I will try and get a pic up of it later

its the same with all the v6' s in a corsa, you can just make it out in my pic
closer pic of how its mounted, i had to get rid of the bulky cav mount though when i fitted uprated manifolds

bulkhead needs the firewall bit removing or trimmed back abit as the inlet catches, and you need to modify the rear exhaust manifold, yea if you get the mounts it will bolt in fine

J200RSA- did you cut back the bulkhead where the timing belt cover gets very close to it? My engine is sitting in the bay and there is about 10mm clearance if that
