you will need about £600-£700
and id recommend upgrading your brakes and suspention too!

try ebay quite a few people floggin redtops or other vauxhall engines on there
not saying buy one off there but to give u an idea of the prices

also try lookin on http://www.topbuzz.co.uk/mods/2Lconvers ... ersion.htm
tells u the ins and outs of fitting a bigger engine to a nova/corsa

hope this helps pal!

save yourself aggro in the long run and save 2k up

get the engine cheked over, anything that looks worn, replace.
get a proper fitting kit usually about £500 ish

most ppl i see who just stuff a c20xe in end up changing sensors and gaskets etc and it makes it harder in the long run, do it once and do it right,
dont forget that engine is 15 years old or more
