Hi, im looking at putting a v6 engine in my corsa, but i was wondering if it is possible to put the 3.0 v6 in, or if it can only be the 2.5 v6. where could i get my mounts from and also will it take much modification to the shell to get it to fit in.

Thanks

The 2.5 and the 3.0 are the same block, just bored and stroked. So, yes, it'll fit.

just put one in my mates its a bit of a squeeze but it fits. Need to chop or bash the bulkhead a bit and be handy with a welder as the rear manifold needs chopping and moving about as it hits the rack other than that its pretty easy wiring is simple

From what I've read the rear manifold is the tough bit

lighter engine and roughly same power
