    Default my 1.2 nova

    right guys, been having a read and have decideed to liven the 1.2 up, with a couple of basic engine mods.... can this be done ok?

    1.6 cam as the ignition fits still
    upgrade to the carb and manifold as its a crap single point injection.

    is there anything else that can be done without to much work?

    If your wanting to change it to carb you'll need a 1.2 carb head on it, Other cheap mods are 4 branch exhaust manifold, new back box, air filter. iirc a 1.6 cam will fit on a carb but not 100% sure.
