    right im going of track here, im looking for simple mods here with minimal machining apart from skiming, porting and polishing i dont want any other machines involved.
    Would a 1.4 mpi head work in the 1300 block without modification/machining to pistons ect...

    If i were to use 1400 mpi head on the standard 1300 block and use the 1300 cam carrier, dizzy and ignition and an ast2, would this work out? has it been done before? how would the timing fair out?

    So mowgli, the 12ST block can be used, but will need the bores honing to remove wear marks etc.

    Or would you say its definately worth having the 1300 bored out to suit the 12ST pistons?
