   would be alot easier to just change the whole engine matey....
   effectively, to change a 1.4 to a 1.6 you would need the whole engine anyway!

   swapping parts andupgrading etc etc.. would involve taking apart both top and bottom ends and would take ages and ages to do, whereas an engine swap can be done in a day with the right man power
