Ahh into a corsa B?

Not hard at all. But you will need to swap stuff over. If it is an originally a 1.0 then a lot more harder work which also extends to the exhaust system as the 1.0 is smaller than them all.

So you would basically need the full car or the:

Wiring, ECU, Keys(or chips from keys), exhaust system, 1.0 brakes are smaller so maybe worth upgrading them. Probably best going and upgrading suspension too, then the engine itself, the mounts etc.

Buy a new car? Or if you are putting a new engine in either put a 1.6 in or a 2.0 as if you are going through all that hassle you might as well upgrade fully!

Not really easy job for a novice like me! (not sure on your skills)

swapping to a larger engine will hike up your insurance or your brothers even if its just a 1.2 as its classed as modifed, not as it left the factory. if you have a 1.0 12v corsa b you can fit a 1.0 12v corsa c engine but you will have to keep the b's manifolds, ecu, etc. just swap the bare engine. corsa c's use fly by wire throttle and canbus on ecu to body so will not work with any ease on a b.
