Depends on what engine code the 1.4 is Tbh there's some that only had like 60hp and they worth poo

But on the otherside if you buy the 1.4 it's alot easier to swap engines compared to the 1.0

If it's a long term project I'd say 1.4 but for a runaround that you'll sell in a year's time the 1.0
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Plus the 1.0 has more problems as a 1.4 8v
If it ain't green and black send it back :D

1.4 is probably slower than the 1.0 unless it's a nova engine, the 8v they stuck in the corsa(bar the early Sri) was horrible

i think im going with the 1.8. He said it was a pretty easy conversion as it uses the cav engine mounts and slots right in ... the only thing he had trouble with was the wiring.
