One of the guys at work has said his mate (who recently rolled his Fiesta) has been offered a Corsa and a 2.5 V6 from a Vectra that "will fit straight in".
What's actually involved in fitting one of these engines to the B? Because i didn't think it was a "straight in" conversion.
Cheers.

Ah lame, lol. Well I've seen a couple done so can't be too hard  Can't see it being a straight swap though.

I seem to remember Beardy listing various reasons as to how it was a ballache and why he'd never do it again

Well with a engine mount bought off the shelf, exhaust downpipe/manifold made/welded up, its the same a normal bigblock. Think the slam panel might need adjusting though.
