i want to put a 1.4 in the shed , but just wondering what can i keep from the 1.2 as in part ? could i just swap the block and gearbox ?? ( straight swap ) any help gratefull.

yh im sure you could do just a straight swap as the engines are basically the same just 1 is a bigger capacity, you should even be able to just change the engine and keep your current gearbox...

ok, there are differences in the mounting if i remember correctly. the 1.2 16v unit is the same as the corsa C and is pretty much exactly the 12v motor in terms of mounting and wiring.

you are gonna need new mounts, i would get an F15 box, as they are strong and offer the best ratios for the 1.4 tbh...

the wiring loom from the 1.4 will go straight in no worries and there is everything in there already to make it troublefree in theory! shouldnt be too hard.

so all i need is new mouting brackets , engine wich has the f15 gearbox already what do you mean by the wiring loom . can i use all the wiring from the 1.2 for the 1.4 ? or do you mean other way round ?
