and TBH itl be cheaper in fuel and engine is only 100 + 0 for delivery as already at our workshop so cheaper than a 8v if i EVER found 1!

You'll probably need a Tigra engine loom, ECU, KeyChip and Transponder.

Which means you'll need the loom or parts of from a Tigra too...

I think!

The 1400 Tigra/Corsa/Astra unit is pretty good... Not too fast, yet not so slow!

Seems perfect, although, I believe it will need a CAT as the engine was designed with one attached. If I'm wrong, it'll probably pass the CO' Test for the age of the Nova.

Good luck, seems like a good idea.

depends if its a C14 or an X14, the X will need the key, ecu and transponder. I looked into getting a smallblock 16v when I had my Nova van
