Hey everyone, im looking to fit a nova 1.3sr engine into my 1.0 12v corsa and was wondering if any one on here has fitted a nova engine into a corsa? ive seen a few bobbing about with the e16se's in them etc.

need help with...
which coolant system to use? corsa's or nova's
what offside engine mount would i use?
what loom would i use? planning on twin 40's so would i just use the ancillerie loom thats on my corsa?
fuel connection's?
thats about it i think any help would be appreciated.

Corsa coolant system, using 1.2/1.4 8v pipework.
Use a 1.2 8v Corsa offside mount.
Loom wise, if you're going for carbs, use the alternator/starter loom from the corsa and don't worry about the rest.
Fuel lines you'll have to make, but they'll be easy enough.
Might even be able to use an SPI throttle cable, or a Nova one.
