Hello, sorry for this being my first post but I have only just found you.

I have recently gained possession of a little 2003 model Corsa with the horrible z10xe engine. The engine has died by means of a valve head ending up sideways embedded into the piston. Obviously, this engine is now scrap.

Herein lies my issue. I know this has been covered before in general but I am after a more detailed answer if I may.

I cannot seem to find a Z10xe engine anywhere for less than £700. I can find x10xe engines everywhere for a lot less. I know the exhaust manifold gasket is the same, and if you go to Vauxhall they now list the short engine as being the same for the Corsa B and Corsa C, but I am not sure about the inlet side of things and sensors on the engine itself as the gasket design is different between the two.

Will a Z10xe inlet manifold fit and work on a x10xe engine in a Corsa C engine bay, i.e. gasket fit, bolt holes line up, etc... Will the appropriate sensors be available between the 2 engines?

Basically, I wish to simply remove the Z10xe complete and swap all the ancilliary components, pumps, manifolds, etc... over to the X10xe and refit back into the Corsa C engine bay. I do not want to purchase an engine, get it all to pieces and then either find that some of the important stuff does not match up, or that it will then not work after it is all back in the engine bay.

Any genuine ideas or thoughts?
