i have a corsa b 1.2 8v 1995 and i want to put in a 1.4 16v sport engine. is this possible? i have been told i have 8v mounts so a 16v engine wouldnt fit because different mounts. is this true? can i buy the 16v mounts if i need them and just swap them over?thanks for any help on this.

should be possible i seen a few 2.5 corsas before but due to the weight of the engine the chassie needs strenghtinging alot more

id say with the added weight i cnt see it being any quicker than a c20let conversion
