Oh and I forgot to say, if you going for a really really really low budget, making sure the engine is running efficiently is just as good as improving it. An oil change is always good for the engine, and making sure the timing is right is also a good start (there are instructions in the Haynes manual, fairly easy to follow). New spark plugs might help, but not much. Same with the HT leads I think, can be beneficial but you're unlikely to notice it when driving.

Then with the change, get a brake service done.

you do realise you will be rebuilding that engine every 2months.....sounds like your dreaming but if you pull it off... i will raise a hat to you. here's the problem:
7 port cylinder head is already over £1000. so get saving.
you're gonna have to uprate virtually everything on the car (including brakes and suspension) to handle the engine. and the engien itself will just tear itsefl apart unless you use the best quality, most heavy duty parts possible. ARP bolts etc, fancy main straps, you'll need a kick ass gearbox.
Go for it mate i'd love to see an engine like this, I think the vauxhall conversion would be cheaper and faster!... NONE of theose parts were on a mini as standard. Expect huge insurance hikes if you're a young'n
