Running a C20XE whats needed?

What is needed to run an XE from a calibra/astra gsi in a kitcar from the doner?

Is the 20XE on a distributer or coil packs cant remember?

Engine
engine loom
ecu
alternator
gearbox+driveshafts (engine will be mid-mounted)
inlet + exhaust manifold
????

Anything else?

THe XE's are both Dizzy and coil pack depending on their age.

There've got good fuel pumps as well.

I ran the original induction / injection system to begin with, but it won't fit under most bonnets - if you do go that way you'll need a 'power cap' to take the place of the original airbox in order to squeeze it in.

Most people eventually go carbs and dizzy / megajolt, or throttle bodies, these are both much smaller and give more power....

Also - most people ditch the alternator for a denso one, for size issues...
