Why not go for a bigger engine? Can't see much point in chucking a 1.0 for a 1.2.

Anything is possible mate (within reason)

**Should be in the help zone

Fair point, top speed of mine is the limit of the road I'm driving on.

Why a 1.2 sxi though, not a great deal of difference in power, nothing to write home about anyway.And i hope if you do an engine conversion you let your insurance know when you pass your test, which by the way will push your premium up somewhat.Just buy a new car with the engine you want allready in it.
