you will need
gearbox
ecu
wiring loom
driveshafts
posibily the engine mounts (unsure but worth checking)
maybe a few other bits & bobs
also maybe a fuel pump from a GSi/Sport Corsa if the engine is injection

What sort of 1600 8 v ?
Could be a j series with 90 or 75 bhp out of old Astra, Cav or the GTE Nova and later Astra type with 100 bhp.
Having said that the Astra 1600, the one with 100 bhp went ok.

it's a nova gte 100bhp one,it's been chipped,flowed head,maniflod, its multi point injection!
it comes with gearbox,driveshafts,wiring loom!
some one told me to ditch the injection and fit twin 40's,then i wouldn't need to touch fuel pump?

youd need an electric carb fuel pump as the injection pump will blow the carb jets to bits even at the low pressure that the 1.2 spi has.
ull deff need an aftermarket pump usually around £40 each cheapest with a £15 regulator and float chamber.
alternatively use the cam and dissy off a 1.4 sr and the fuel pump runs off the cam lobe.
