i got a 1.4sr and want more poke without too much fuss/cash
to get as gte lump to run on a carb ie 32/34 weber what needs to be done. does it have a dizzy? what inlet manifold do u use?

or does any bits off the 1.6 sit on the 1.4 to give it more go? can u use the 1.6 bottom end on the 1.4 or is the 1.6 a bigger lump altogether? are the 1.6 pistons larger or is it the stroke thats longer?

advise please

Gearbox F13

Our Conversion: -

if u want to go down that route it would save a lot of hassle and at least youd have someone to go back to if anything went wrong!

Take a look in Haynes about the 1.6 vs 1.4 bore dimensions. Check articles section on here.
