Ridiculous amounts cheaper to bung a 1.6 in there, you'd need to get the boring work done by a machine shop, bore rehoned, and then pistons to fit, unless you find some standard pistons that happen to fit, you're looking at a decent sized 3 figure sum, could fit a reconditioned 1.6 on webers for roughly the same price probably. Have you looked at any insurance quotes yet? I looked when I first got my car/passed and to insure a 1.6 conversion was around 3.5k, and I was 20 at the time.

Saaaf Ockendon!! Why is everyone on here from south ockendon yet i never see a single ****ing nova when im there!

As said above. Literally no point when 1.6 engines can be picked up and fitted in standard form for £200
