you can get more power, often all threu the rev range with injection, the only thing that holds is back is often the manufacturers ecu!

folks fit vauxhall engines, bike engines, honda vtec, rover k(as u know), suzuki swift, basically anything will fit, but all require a fair lot of work, welding, having parts made or adapted!!

if you are just looking for more power have u thought about basic mods to a 1275cc lump (stage 1 kit, rally cam, head mods) lots lots easier to do and lots cheaper. just because its an a-series doesnt mean it cant produce decent power.

the 1.4 8v carb engine produces no more power/torque than a decent a-series!! the 16 valve does but the money that u spend on that conversion could buy you a minisport 7 port head and in injection system im sure!!
