For the C20XE/LET and the C20NE/SEH you have a good base as the corsa 8v's are really straight forward according to the web.
The main deciding factor will be your age and NCB for insurance and how much you are willing to spend/do to get a different engine in the car.

Xe is an easy conversion on a 1.2 8v. Probably cheapest of them all aswell.

I thought I was cool by not telling my insurance about my engine and mods when I was young and daft(just turned (18) ect, till I got stopped on my way home from work... worst day of my life! I had to learn the hard way its not worth the hassle with the police just pay the extra saves you from losing your car!!
