I have a 1.4 8 valve corsa van with no power steering and want to transplant everything across from a T reg Corsa 1.4 Sport with air con, am I right in thinking the van is a type A shell and the Sport a type B? What difficulties will I have?
Many thanks

You are right about the types. Will you be converting the engine to a 1.4 as well?

Do you want power steering on the 1.4 van?

i recon your best bet would be to get the hydraulic power steering rack, and associated pipework, then look at getting a 2.0 vauxhall power steering pump which is a single V belt pulley and possibly use a 2.0 conversion mount and bolt it to the front of your engine block if the correct holes are there, otherwise custom make a mount to fit.

didnt they do so many electric ones harvey? wouldnt that be the easiest?

Sorry, yes I do want to swap at least the 1.4 16v engine across if not the spare 1.8 X18XE1 I have spare sitting in a Y reg astra! I was just wondering if the van body can take the engine mounts on the 16valve engine?

yeah cant see why not just make sure they are the same or have another incase you have to modifie or something
