Why not buy a 1.4 16v Corsa? The insurance will be cheaper, better spec if it's a Sport, you won't need to piss about with it.
If you do go for the engine swap, all of the main engine loom is in a different location, and you'll need to move the EPS ECU because, that takes the place of the x14xe item, in the drivers foot well.

I agree with corsadonk. Just buy a sport with the engine already in. Really dont see the point in conversions like this. If you want to keep the shell but want more power, go for a C20XE or even a X18XE1. More power and worthwhile imo.
