Yes, fit 1.6 16v or fit 1.6 8v out of GSi/GTE.

1.6 8v GSi easy to do, you have MPi injection already so no need to change tanks etc.

You could spend the same money on tuning a 1.4 8v to around 90bhp as it would cost for a 2.0 16v conversion!

true!

depends if you want loads of power by just doing a conversion or wether you want the challange of squeezing lots of power out of the 1.4

I have a piper cam that would suit your engine done 15k miles and if you collect you can have the cylinder head (55k miles) all for £60
