Fitting a X14XE into a Corsa B

The engine in my 8v 1.4 SRi has gone bang !

What is involved in fitting a x14xe in it's place and what bits do I need ?

Before anyone starts to tell me to fit a 2.0 redtop etc., don't waste your time. I want (need) to keep it at 1400 for the class I compete in on rallies.

Mounts(not 100%) do you standard gearbox or using a sequencil, depending on box you may need new clocks wired, and a corsa sport loom

Would you not move up to 1600?

What do you mean by mounts not 100% ?

I am using a standard box.

Don't want to move up to 1600.

I guess I'll need the ecu & transponder from the x14xe. Will this plug into the existing loom ?

Engine mounts, i think there different but not sure

You need a new gearbox mount then or you keeping the old gearbox?

No you will need a 1.4/1.6 corsa sport 16v loom and its just plug and play then
