Alright guys brought a corsa b 1.2 16v sxi 1998
The engine does not start or turn over apparently it's not worth fixing but I thought it's a bargin for £100

Does anyone know the easiest engine conversion? Or the cheapest want it faster it's my track car so no insurance matters

Thanks

1.6 or 1.8 16v will be the least hassle,
but the usual route is redtop

Thanks

same wires etc... only issue is getting the back manifold and down pipe in. easy enough with someone with welding skills

....and a corsa b chassis doesn't need to be strengthened providing its not rotten
