Engine swap.
Just wanting to know how hard it is to swap my 1.2 16v engine with a 1.6 sport engine? Can you keep normal driveshafts and poo? and what else can i keep from my1.2, And is it worth doing?

Re: Engine swap.
to be honest mate, its not worth the hassle, its easier to go out and buy another corsa and swap everything over. iv been there done that and its so much easier and less hassle to buy one and swap everything over and then sell your original corsa as standard.

Re: Engine swap.
cant really sell mine as standard lol. grinded a lot off. only got my angel eyes. grinded old struts off coz there were stuck. grinded centre pipe and back box off because they were stuck with rust lol. bit of a pain in the ass but it was a quick fix at the time

Re: Engine swap.
yer but if you bought another corsa that would all come with the standard stuff already on it, so swap that to this red one and then put all this stuff on your other corsa with the larger engine.
