i think the 1.6 is a no no cos of ya age, the 1.4 is the more realistic one to go for, and once ya sorted the conversion a 1.6 will slot straight in at a later date with no hassle cos ya already done what needed when the 1.4 went in.

most insurance companies wont touch you cause its an engine conversion, better off buying a new one with 1.4 in.

If you're serious just change the car. Far cheaper and easier to insure a standard group 6 factory thing than an oddball modified thing. Plus you get electric bits, new interior, PAS etc. and the ability to resell it.
