the vauxhall engine is from the astra gte in the uk (possibly kadett gte in europe?) the engine is the 2ltr 16x, 'Xe', also found in the cavalier and calibra

bellhousing's are available from qed, sbd, rallynuts, yukspeed i the uk, around £170 mark + delievery these are all teh same item and bolt up to a ford sierra type 9 5 speed gearbox, a standard xe should just about be ok but a tuned xe will need an uprated gearbox, such as quaife internals etc
