400 for a decent engine which I think drops straight in pretty easily. uprate the brakes if you've not already and you're away!

Diff engine mounts (at least one is diff) dun think your g/box wud work with 16xe, proly get one with motor.
If u got big brakes etc wont be a prob, not sure on drive shafts either?

1.6 16v engine with mount shafts hubs loom ecu, and thats it
Cossvaux will fit it (if u take engine to them) for 250
so engine 400 fitting 250 = 650

If you have the 59bhp SPi 1.4 8v engine, you could change it for the 82bhp MPi version as found in the SRi.
An extra 23bhp for very little £££s (probably won't even affect the insurance)!
Then when your a bit older, get a 2.0 lump!
