i currently have a 1.6 sport which has only done 43k but unfortunately the car being 11 years old rust has started to take over, so i am going to buy another corsa with a clean shell and drop my 1.6 into it,
just wandering will the 1.6 sit straight on the the engine mounts made for a 1.0,1.2 or a 1.4?
Thanks

With the effort involved, why not just sell your car and buy a clean Sport?

1.0 12v, 1.2 16v and all other non PAS models use different drivers side front engine mounts to the 1.6 sport. But you can just use the mount from your current car Are you planning on having power steering on the new car?
In theory if your stripping parts from your current corsa you should have everything you need

Doesn't matter if it has 40k or 100k, it depends on how well it's looked after.
