The reason i didnt buy a 1.4 in the first place is because it my first can and i thought the insurance would be cheap.
Is there alot of things to do for the log book, so that it says it is a 1.4 and not a 1L

but when you put the 1.4 in it, the insurance will be the same as the car its out of, not the same insurance as a 1.0

It's going to cost you more to insure a converted 1.0 than a 1.4 standard because insurers will class the car as being tuned and modified. Fact.
