Get one from a 1.4, they have more lift and duration.

For the smal amoutn you can remove safely its really not worth it. It can cause them to crack and come apart, and it wont increase power at all, only throttle response.

as well as the sr one?
Exhaust and decat are always a god idea, but more important is a decent manifold. either get a fourbranch, or a twin downpipe off a gte/gsi/sri.

I would def go for the proper 4-1 branch manifold, i noticed no gain what so ever with the gte 4-2-1, after all its still a short cast iron manifold.

I don't think any corsa came with a carb head lol
You'd want a nova 1.2 carbed head which are getting very rare. Or else a nova 1300 sr head which should'nt be to difficult to find. If you go with the webber 32/34 carb you need a 1300 sr manifold. Or with the 40s you want the proper 40 manifold and lower altenator bracket. Don't use the 1400 carb head its crap just like you 1.2 spi head. BTW you can't bore a 1200 block to suit 1400 pistons and stroke, the 1400 had a longer stroke block, so you'd not get 1400 power, you could just over bore the block abit. but you can convert a 1300 block for a 1400, but this is of no use to you
very early Corsa Merits from August 1993 came with the carbed 1.2 straight from the nova, and the 4 speed F10. lack of engines.
