Tell him to fit a 2.0 16v and not the 8v. Far better engine.

He'll need:

Engine, box and loom
M-Tech or similar fitting kit consisting of shafts, mounts, hubs and spacers
Better brakes - either veccy V6 or GTE 2lt ones will be fine.

Wouldn't bother with the 8v. Personally, I'd go for a 1.6 16v from a Corsa.
Best go for one with a metal inlet manifold - X16XE I think they're called.
