Went on ebay and found

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=9858&item=2483761871&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

Hope that worked

Anyway its a 2.5 v6 veccy engine, pretty low mileage i thought. Would it be "compatiable" with a 93 corsa or would anewer one be less hassel?

I know beardys got one, just wandered how much grief it will cause me to fit? Costs of any extra parts needed?

Would be doing work myself with guidance from the lads at work.

Prob. buy a shitheap to run round in till it was done.

Any and all help appreciated.

That's not an engine, it's a whole Vectra
Quite a nice one too, except for the bloody Lexus lights.

It's not gonna be simple, you would have to make your own engine mounts, figure the wiring out, sort cooling, fueling etc etc...

TBH I would look for an engine without a car

It's a bit expensive buying the whole working car just for the engine.
Plus, it's a waste of a perfectly good Vectra.

Yeah i know it, i would get the engine on its own. Just couldnt be bothered to look so found one in a car

I know its not gonna be straight forward, i work on cars Just wandered how much grief it would be?

Its either a corrado VR6 or an engine swap to a 2.0 or 2.5 if i can.

Cheers,
