Nova 1.0 to 1.4

[gazza1965c6330]

Building a wee nova sprint car.
Have a good shell caged, seam welded etc.
The car was originally a 1.0. I have a 1.4 single point injection engine out of a corsa ready to drop in. I need to fit a distributer, associated coil etc and inlet manifold and carb.

What problems am i likely to encounter in doing this. Any help and advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

well, getting a carb/manifold & dizzy set to run off the spi engine for a start, then when you come to wiring it in, you may have some fun with the resistive coil wire, unless you continue to use the 1.0 coil.

why not run it as an spi?

Will prob take the bull by the horns and build a decent wee engine.

Have a head that has had some work done on the inlets, will look at exhaust work / bigger valves, decent cam, set of 40`s etc

How do the wee 1.4`s respond to bottom end work, ie lightening and balancing etc.

i'd say they don't need much apart from new rings & shells for what you are planning.
