   Think they are in the region of 100bhp so yea, quite a substancial difference over your 1.1. Try and find a gear box as they are awesome. Super high final drive. Will acelerate like the clappers.
   
   Dont think the airbox will fit but i imagine it could be bodged on. Spend a few quid on a decent air filter and jobs agooden

   1.3 rallye engine quite powerfull,more then the saxo 1.4 i think.
   
   it will go in
   your gearbox will go on
   your airbox wont fit will need a proper rallye one
   it would make a difference over a 1.1 yes.
   how much would it be to fit?depends on who you get it done by,probs 600ish quid i dunno.

   yeah the exhaust will fit not sure if the manifold is the same tho, its injection, think the 1300 also has a fuel return pipe so you would need to plumb one in.
   
   the 1.3 rallye is a fantastic engine, you have to rev the nuts off it and it loves it, and is more powerful than a 1.6 vtr

    100 brake aswell. The engine and manifolds are of a much better design than other lumps like the 1.4 8v, the intake manifold on the 1.4 is stupidly restrictive for some reason
