im sure the mount's are not the same, otherwise, chris astley wouldn't of had to fabricate the mount's on the shell like he did in his nova?

using a nova engine mount yes...

bottom's all bolt up the same

so if a corsa mount fitted the vxr engine, that would mean a nova mount would, yes it doesn't as chris had to do loads of fabrication?

When I said mounts, I meant the gearbox side mount and rear engine/gearbox mount.

The drivers side mount would need to be made up as shown above, not difficult though.
