Not worth it IMO... blood from a stone... with about a grand you might get 75-80 from it.
I got 2 sets of figures about the 1.4 8v .. all say 60bhp.
Im going off parkers and the Haynes Corsa manual, which also says 60

There was a rumor going round not so long ago you could fit bits off the SRi 8v engine to give noticable power gains

Probably could do. Need the whole top end, new throttle body, injectors, fuel pump, ecu etc etc etc...
