1.4 is a good lump can be tuned. 1.6 is the better of the two tho

id say get a 1.6 16v as getting a 1.4 would be a waste of money. The 1.6 will be good for a bit of tuning in the future

Well the problem being you will pay more on insurance for an engine conversion than you will for a car with the engine you want in it already.
Plus you will struggle just to find an insurance company that will cover engine conversions, I dont know of any under 19.

I thought when getting insurance you just tell them make model age an engine size and away you go basicly

in 'normal' cars yes, but coz its been modified, insurance companies take a dim view of this, thats why they've put the age up.
