hey people i gotta 1995 corsa 1.2 8v ls, what engine can i fit as a direct replacement without changin nuffin else, cheers, lookin for either 1.4 or 1.6, help me plez

probably just a 1.4 8v
but im not 100% on that

been told a 1.6sv will go straight in too

might be worth while asking an engine conversion specialest like regal autosport
failing that just ask a mechanic!

The 1.4 8v should be easy, or a nova gsi gsi 1.6 8v should be just as easy. I've done a 2.0 8v wich was pretty straight forward but a bit more expensive

is the 2.0 l 8v the astra gte engine? ?

no mines the C20ne from a cav mk3 sri. the engines look the same though but the earlier ones have a little more power because of higher compression, but not sure where the increase in compression is from. I hear cam, head or pistons. Also the 16v is the same basic block so mounts the same way, i've been told, but this option is more expensive again.

i been told only 8v will go in and not 16v coz 16v the engine is more to the drivers side compared to 8v, gonna stick with the idea of a 1.4sri lump, ne1 know where to get one lol

yes stick to 8valve, they are gd strong engines aswell, well allvox will more than likley get hold of one for u, ther an allvauxhall scrappers http://www.allvox.co.uk

sorry did mean the 2l 16v, but in this case think the pullys need changing. But your right I don't believ that it si possible to swap to a small block 16v.

Sounds like a good call but may also be worth keeping an ear out for a 1.6 8v might find one in a old astra

has ne1 put a 2.0 16v ecotec into a corsa b4? ? and if so wot needs to be done! ! ! txt me or reply a.s.a.p plez 07846463839
