Want this question answered?
if the corsa's are of close age then the 1.8 box will probably fit the 1.6 engine if the engines are similar design and the main different is just the displacement
Yes it wil I own a Corsa with a boss engine and gearbox it runs great
yes can
no reason why it shouldn't as long as its a SRI corsa (i think they made an SRI astra but not sure on that) so yea theoretically it should be the same coz vauxhall saved money by creating similar engines and gearbox's so they should be interchangable so basically YES it will fit
You'll need to custom build a chassis and then adapt a Corsa body to fit on top - the drivechain, gearbox and so on will all need to be replaced too. It could be done, but it'd be a major project far in advance of anything most amateur and even mechanical mechanics could manage.
Yes but you will just wined the diffs up in the gear box
Only if it has a completely different gearbox (with overdrive) fitted. You would then have to find an engine to fit the gearbox. You may have problems fitting this into the bodyshell, so I suggest you source a secondhand body from a car that will fit the engine and gearbox. Maybe you could fit the body from the car you took the engine and gearbox out of? Then all you need is an interior, driveshafts, brakes, wheels etc. and the job is done!
Yes, both engines are practically the same bar the distributor and coil pack, but the camshafts are identical
yes it can but the gearbox is very tight in the tunnel
The mountings on the top will differ. It should fit the engine ok, but you will need to fabricate a new cradle to match the car's gearbox mounting position.
The gearbox will physically fit, you need to change the clutch to a push type clutch however. If we are talking 5 speed gearboxes.
YOU NEED TO HAVE BELL HOUSING FROM CORTINA IF IT FITS GEARBOX IT WILL FIT IN TO CORTINA IM ASSUMING THAT THE CORTINA IS A MK11 IT ALSO HAS TO BE OF SAME YEAR. ALSO CHECK RATIO OF GEARBOX YOU WILL HAVE TO USE THE GEAR STICK FROM GEARBOX AS THEY ARE DIFFERANT THREADS HOPE THIS IS OF HELP KIFF which model of escort? which model of cortina? If the engine is the kent crossflow type in both vehicles then the gearbox will fit either engine
