Not worth it IMO... blood from a stone... with about a grand you might get 75-80 from it.

I got 2 sets of figures about the 1.4 8v .. all say 60bhp.

Im going off parkers and the Haynes Corsa manual, which also says 60

There was a rumor going round not so long ago you could fit bits off the SRi 8v engine to give noticable power gains
