should be a simple case of unbolting the 1.0 and bolting in the 1.4, although i think there about 4-5 wires to connect up

Long live the nova will know exactly

No, fuel tanks are different. The 1.0 tank does not have a return. Drive shafts fit into the hubs no problem, you will need to use the SR's 5 speed box and I think you need to modify the gear lever to reach 5th, but this is just a bit of cutting to the white nylon plastic part under the gaitor. All other parts just swap straight over.

As above, you'll need swap tank, and lines. And you'll need the g/box off a ohc engine.
And you will need swap the the drivers side engine mount for the one off a OHC 8v nova engine.

You just need the metal mount that bolts to the engine.
Unbolt.
