Firstly i would like to say hello....
As you can see im new here,
Would the engine from a nova gsi/gte fit straight into the engine bay of a 1993 (L) corsa 1.4
Also what (if any) mods would need to be done to the wiring/exhaust/mounts ect?
Any pointers would be great, i have read the engine transplant section however it does not state if there are any differences on the wiring or exhaust ??

exhausts will more or less line up, but cutting and welding will usually be required.
The engine should bolt straight in as long as you have the mounts with the engine i'm pretty sure.

Welding is no problem!!
What about the wiring??
Will there be any differences or will it just be plug and play??

wiring wise you'll need to extend the wires... the nova lump has its connectors in the bay, corsa's are in the car, all colour for color though

Thanks for the offer but the 1.6 8v looks nice and easy to change (i think)
