the descriptions are vauge lol

if the 1.4 head has bigger valves and isnt a square inlet port one then id say that would be a better option.

but if the 1.4 head IS square port, then the 1.3 head is best.

it says thge 1.4 head is the SE head so its gonna be the round port mpi versioon

this is the better head in std trim so a worked one will be an excellent choice for your engine

please note u will need to buy a 1.6GTE inlet manifold for your 40's as the ports on your 1400 manifold wont line up

also the 1400 auction comes with a cam as well so that will help things along nicely
