Hey Coggers, yeah i believe he did have problems but as i remember he was converting his over to an 8v sri 130 engine and then went for a 16v ecotec. I cant honestly remember if he tried an XE in his HC or not. I shall have to contact him.

Anyhoo...

Look what i just bought tonight:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1994-VAUXHALL-CAL ... 286.c0.m14

8) 8) 8)

It is actually an XE engine just with a plug cover from an ecotec.

So thats:

Magnum axle
Magnum front brakes
XE engine

Now to find all the other parts required :lol:

Mr Bottomley.... Would the dizzy that you mention in your shed of plenty work with an Xe or would it be 8v application only?
