that would probably kill the thing lol

have seen it done before probably with a 13 head or the 12 head matched to a 13's port size then using a 13 manifold but I would just use a 32/34 carb you can get those to fit easyer and do the job.

I think a 32/34 be feel much better tban SPI.

Wouldn't t40's on a 1.2 net 70-odd bhp, same as a standard 1.3? If that's the case I'd say get a 1.3 lump and put t40's on those. Then you'd have a genuinely quick car.
People always say "stick a bigger lump in" whilst forgetting the cost of insuring it. But between a 1.2 I'd definately say stick a 1.3 in. They're nippy and very cheap to insure.

That's my opinion. I'm sure others will moan about it, but that's my two pence.

as above there's so substitute for cc's really, just put in a 1.4 sr engine and stamp on your 1.2 engine no.s.....oops did I just say that, thats against the law. sorry!

I've done it on my 1.2i. Put on a 1300 polished ported skimmed head, kent cam, exhaust system, 40s with trumpets. I can tell you its definitely worth it. I have a 4.18 fd ready to fit, so it should make use of the power well. I'd say at the moment without the diff its probaly slightly over 1300 power. Problem is that i don't think the little 1.2 bottom end will put up with more power, so i'm building a 1300 bottom end with heavy duty bearings, strong con rods, etc. I think you would definitly will need to at least change to a performance head for the 40s to make a real difference.
