i think so, but it wont pass the MOT, however it would do it oyu put the whole nova engine in. would fail on emissions.
early 1.2 novas had 55 bhp, corsas have 45 bhp.
actually thinking about it, i dont think it will fit. might aswell get the whole engine, they go for like 20-30 quid.

No as the Corsa is injection, Nova is carbed, apart from the later Nova i's

Source a very early 1.2 Corsa, most of these came with 1.2 carburettors.

I looked in to this a couple of years ago cos i had a set of weber carb and was told they could not be fitted due to the single point injector

all corsa's are injected i believe, either single point or multi poitn, most 8valvers will be single point, the later novas, as the Nova SRi has anjection system in it, but power is crap, better off with a carbed setup on the corsa dunno about ECU etc?

Very early 1.2 8v Corsas had Nova engines due to a lack of them, as it was a new engine.

All the ECU parts that would control the fuel injection would have to be made defunct or removed.

Nova's changed from carbs to injection due to emissions legislation. Fuel injection was required to work with the cat and lambda sensor.
All cars registered from August 1992 onwards (ie K plate onwards) had to have a cat. Carbed Nova engines couldn't have been fitted to a K plate car.

Its as clear as day pete, a fella at work with a 1.2 Carb'd Corsa. He's old and not likely to mod cars. He said it came like that from factory. Bear in mind his Corsa is one of the first off the production line. Its very very old!

You can stick a 2.0 in and not require any strengthening.
