Is it the power increase or the work involved that puts u guys off?

Engine is very cheap if that makes a difference?

Well at the mo i`m getting 280 miles from £35 of petrol, the sr lump will be more economical, and quicker.

the amount of work for such little power mate.

plus the fact you want to put a 10 year old + engine that will have been to the moon and back over your nice new low mileage corsa engine think about it mate

it would be a lot easier to get a sri lump from either an early corsa or late nova, and use that. If you got a carb one, its far too much work to use. I have a sri 8v mpi engine for sale if your interested, u2u me.
£150 with everything!
