Corsa-B.uk - Vauxhall, Opel and Holden Corsa B Owners Club

hey bit of a stupid idea but i havent got £500-£1000 for a cheap redtop so ive jus spent £100 on a Corsa Arizona 1.2 (engine has blown) so im droppin my 1li 12v corsa b into it for now because it has alot nicer shell mines f**k where as it has no dents on this n has jus been resprayed matt black.

just needed a little bit of help me n a few freinds are gona throw the 1li in on sunday
but were waiting for problems just wondering if anyone got anyone wants to give me a little info wether it will drop in, and wether the wiring loom comes off the engine?

also im looking at going euro style with it tbh its got a smoothed boot so it doesnt have the number plate holder anymore any ideas on where to put that? so the police dont pull me every 5minutes?

lowering springs also will it be worth it or should i jus save the £200 for sportex coilovers?

thanks

you might have a bit of a problem with the looms, as on the 1l the loom is in the scuttle pannel i think and the 1.2 etc etc has it down next to drivers right foot. so you might find it a bit of a problem trying to get the looms to meet together.

as in a problem its not going to work or still do-able?

the orgiinal engine i think is the 1.2 8v arizona but the guy blew it up bent the valves everything so i cant even jus buy like a new head for the 1.2 n get that running.

the gearbox will run off the 1.2 with my 1li tho wont it?
originaly we was thinkin jus strip the 1.2 engine out completely n then drop mine in wire it all up n sort exhaust system etc out after

does the wiring loom split fromt he engine?

you'l have to use the loom from the 1L btw you cant use the 1.2 loom. and yea the looms do split from the engine, and the gearbox should work, iv never really worked on a 1L at all so i couldnt really say, where abouts are you from? as i have a 1.2 8v engine with the electric ignition you can have for £60 i took it out as i lost the keys otherwise it was a good engine, and now iv got another corsa so i dont need it anymore.
