Dont you mean uprated cams. Anyhow, to get 136bhp, its gotta have a new inlet manifold. Which one is it?

Yes but the 1.2 8v isn't liking anything above 80Mhp. where the 16v has quite a bit more to go

U might as well drop a 1.4 16v in mate - the 1.2 8v -> 16v transplant wud be a waste of time + effort.

the 1.4 16v is only like insurance group 5. Oh - and tell em the engine is coming out of a 1.4 16v CDX rather than the sport. CIS quote me 150quid less for this fact, dispite engines being identical.
