you need a 2ltr engine, preferably one already in a car such as a cavi etc cause you get the disks etc aswel.
so you will need :
engine
wiring loom
ecu
engine mounts
drive shafts
brakes setup
i think thats everything. not sure though cant think lol.
thats quite a drastic step dont you think, 1.2 to 2ltr 8v. would it not be better to go for a 1.4 or 1.6 sport, it would be an easier conversion and cheaper aswell

yeah sometimes is the cheaper option, i think you could pick up a decent 1.4 sport or 1.6 sport cheap
i dont really know if its the same mounts but i think they may be the same, but the brakes will be slightly different, but again it means a different wiring loom
