Can I fit a bigger engine in an Astra?
Can you fit a 1.7 vauxhall astra engine into a 1.3 vauxhall astra
Our answer:
Hi Khejen,
The larger engine will certainly fit into the engine bay and it's definitely doable, but it may require a lot of extra work in terms of the transmission and electrics. We wouldn't recommend trying it without in-depth knowledge of the Vauxhall wiring systems.
