I think you'll find a 1.3 metro engine will be exactly the same as the one you already have..

what the above are suggesting is replacing the A series engine with an alternate K series engine which is totally different... (and will be 1.1, 1.4 or bigger) you'll need a bespoke subframe and all the wiring ECU etc from the metro...
