hi im starting my own corsa b project and need some advise on what i need.
i have a 1996 p reg corsa vegas 1.2 and i want to convert it to a 2.0 16v redtop.
i am in the process of getting the engine, gearbox, loom,ecu,fuel pump, driveshafts and brakes from a calibra but have been told that the shafts will be to long to fit the corsa and that i need shafts from a gsi or sri corsa. also the inner cvs must be cav 1.6 cvs. is this right or would the calibra shafts be ok to use. also been told i would need a conversion mout or would to calibra mount be ok.
i basicly have the calibra for any parts i need so if there anything you think i might need please let me know 
regards ben

if they are the equal length shafts you can use them in a corsa, you will also need conversion mount ang gearbox spacer

if you dont know what your doing i woudnt start it.
you need 2 mounts rear gearbox and drivers side conversion mount possibly front gearbox mount,
use corsa sport/gsi shafts with astra mk2 inners
