Not much, i remember by 1.4 8v on 17's, sluggish is an understatement
60 bhp is pretty poor from a 1.4 really.

good thing about blasting down country lanes with that engine is that you can go flat out and not speed

well you get a engine loom of a nova non injection then get the carb kit for it and sorta bodge it all together
tbh itd be easyer to pull it out and shove a nova 1600 8v engine in
