IIRC, Weddy1988 off here, sold the Nova Gsi which he put the 2.1 into, but then the new owner removed it and it was being sold as a 2.0 XE. Not sure why the engine was removed though.

Probably because it was a pretty decent spec engine and it would have been shoved in something else! Made 163bhp at its last RR which is pretty fucking good for an XE without any major performance mods!

Here's a couple of pics from when Weddy had it, in one of its many guises in his ownership

i have a question this was origionally fitted with the xe lump now im stuck and im unsure how to work this out what are the chances of my 2.0 8v running on the xe loom or has it had a completey new loom and how hard would it be to put a xe lump back in just managed to free some cash up so work will be started on this as of tomorrow will be roadworthy next week then the engine plans begin

Oh yh wires are same just disconnect 8v loom and then use same wires to connect 16v and as you already have a big block engine you dont need gearbox shafts or mounts but everything else lol but you could make the stuff you got fit
