how can i put a z18xe engine in a 52reg corsa?

If you are in the UK just remember that your insurance will go up when you tell your insurance company) what you have done to the car. (If you fail to tell them you will be driving without insurance which is a criminal offence.) Your Insurance will probably be more than a factory fitted 1.8 Corsa because your car will have had a substantial modification and insuracne companies don't like modifications. Finally cars modded in this fashion become pretty well unsaleable. So it won't be cheaper in the long run.
