Cheers for the reply mate, do you know if the 1.6 8v are a straight replacement for. 1.2 8v or is it best talking to nath ?

Oh cool I weren't sure on the engine mounts and that.

Just out of curiosity what gearbox and driveshafts you using with the 1.6 engine?

[nath2905]

the original box with came with the engine, and the shafts off my 1.2 as you will find most low engine corsa shafts are the same, if im correct

[fcliverpool70]

Ahhh wicked , I did think the 1.2 and 1.4 driveshafts were the same but weren't sure on the 1.6 as they weren't fitted to the corsa's .

Cheers for the advice nath , will you be keeping a project log of fitting the 1.6? Would like to see how you get on as it's something I'm quite interested in doing to my car.
