Well just had a clean out in the garage now that i have sold most of my corsa parts .To my suprise i still have near complete C16xe lol. pieced it all together and looks like i only need a few bits and am good to go . so now am thinking of having the c16xe rebuilt not to a crazy spec but somthing fun i.e about 170bhp and build another corsa 
so my question is who is the best person to go to for having a engine rebuilt want it done right
also what would need to get that sort hp throttle bodies am guessing just want to price stuff up before i jump in

tbs, pocket stock pistons and a 270-280dur cams with about 10.5-10.8mm lift and decent ex manifold and system should with arp rod bolts should see an easy 170-175bhp

I'm pretty tempted to do this, but I haven't got engine yet. Maybe in a Nova.

My c16 ran 145 roughly. Just wish it itb'd it like I planned.
Would have been awesone with the noise and bit more rpm
