Hi,

Take a look at the 16V mini forums; i am not saying this cannot be done, however why are you intent in using a vaux? The honda B16A2 / B18 engines have been fitted to many cars, and as such, the kits etc are becoming well developed. I'm not sure the size of the nova engine would fit?

contact Allspeed Engineering in Nottingham, they do conversion kits for vauxhall and honda engines.

vauxhaul engines work quite well as there is minimal mods needed, and if you've got a clubby, they drop straight in the hole so no major body mods to do like extending wings
