Just acquired my Astra Engine to put into my SRi on sunday and it's clean as a whistle

Although I've managed to grab the engine loom, ECU and radiator (along with other bits), I'm at a loss as to what the engine code is(?). Having looked through my Owners Manual, I have come to the conclusion that it's a C16XE. Is there a way to confirm this?

It's 1.6 8v from a '93 Astra 1.6i Expression (I think) but I can't find anything on the 'net to reaffirm my identification of the engine. Can anyone help?

Also, I'm kicking myself that I didn't grab the fuel pump from the Astra, will my current pump suffice or not? Thanks in advance.

Hmmm....according to this site the XE is down to compression ratio and mixture system (X being = EC 91/441/EEC (stage 2) and E being MPI.

EDIT: SE sounds very feasible
