It isn't worth the effort imo. You'd need a fuel pump, loom, everything off a 1.4 16v and I am pretty sure the mounts are different on the shell,

as your engine is the SPI, will need a 16v fuel pump...

i'd use the box of the 16v too, will be closer ratio, will need wiring loom for 16v engine, but that will plug straight into the corsa, so no hard wiring to do

can use original shafts, and mounts
