i know this means more money but before u do any engine mods get ur brakes, and suspension sorted no use having power if u cant stop. also check with ur insurance as well, I think the engine mounts are diffrent on 1 liters but it should be fairly straight forward ull need the correct gearbox as well good luck

any vauxhall 8v engine will go in EASILY

even easier if you stick to a carb model, as everything is in place ready for it
