If i was to get a 1.3SR engine, would it drop straight into my 1.2? Has anyone tried this? Also wondering whether id need to upgrade my gearbox or anything else apart from brakes etc?

Cheers

either a 1.3 sr or a 1.4 sr, should both be easy to come by, were abouts are you and how old are you?

ideally id want the old 1.3sr engine - think these are the quickest before you get to the GTE's etc, am i right?

Im 21 and from Norwich, only started driving at 20 tho! Have had the '89 1.2L for a year and its slooooowwww, but the body is in good condition so id want to keep that and make subtle upgrades. Then hopefully would look like a 1 or 1.2 litre, but go like an SR :)

These are on ebay all the time usually for about ?50-?75 a lot say the 13s are faster!
Really easy to do and are fairly quick,if your mechanically minded you can do this in a couple of hours its that simple!
