-engine mounts
-wiring loom
-ecu, key chip, transponder
-engine block
-inlet
-outlet
(think the exhaust system is the same)
They usually come with F15 boxes, iirc.
I've bought an c16xe before for little over £100 on eBay, but usually it's about £150 for the bare block, then 200-250 including all anchillaries.
also don't expect for it to be a simple job, over the weekend, you may run into complications

yes, they would be if they was 16v engine mounts. But he's already said he's going from 8v to 16v

depends on what you want i have a f13wr and i love it 128 in 4th on the limiter and 70 in 5th is so much better sits at a nice 2800rpm.and for your conversion i think the front 2 engine mounts you use the 8v ones not sure thats just as i see when i had a quick look at 1 in the scrap yard

find a crashed 1.6 corsa sport.. and remove the entire engine and gearbox... the ecu... the wiring loom...
you will also need to either make a bracket or use the setup from a 1.4 non pas corsa... to get rid of the pas system... as i doubt your car has pas...
you need the fuel pump from the 1.6 car aswell...

if he gets a c16xe its a 2 day job.. and is plug and play... the wiring would a small bit more difficult on a x16xe..
