ok... i've got myself a calibra on the cheap (minus the wheels) and am going to put the engine from that in the place of the pathetic 1L that is currently preventing me from over taking any form of other car on the road.
first things first i want to know what EXACTLY is involved and i'd like to particularly hear from people who have done this mod themselves instead of listening to the usual rubbish of "i think u need to do this" or balls like that. Coz i've heard several people come up with different ways of doing... needing to cut the bulk head etc etc...
so PLEASE people... can anyone tell me what EXACTLY is needed to get this big engine into my corsa b.

On a side note can you get a strut brace in there with a 2.0 16v? How much are they? Will a standard one fit?

u need the engine and all ancillaries out of the car along with the inner and outer cv joints. u need shafts and hubs from pvd or another company. also engine mounts and either a mantzel induction plenum which will mean the bulkhead has to be cut or the ecotec pipe of a newer vauxhall which wont need the bulkhead cut.
