i had the mounts, engine and everything
but, i dont like the fact that most stuff you need to do to the engine when its in, means removeing the engine,. or at least its gonna be a pain in the ass.
where as, a c16xe is made for the car,. i can order any bits for it and its of a corsa, not a cav,cally, etc hybrid.
plus, with the car being so light, and having a light engine, it will handle really well,
