well either look for a 1.4 or 1.6 8v bottom end (which you mite struggle with if you have lack of time), or its gona be the 1.4 or 1.6 16v,

personally i would try and look for the 1.6 8v bottom end and bolt it up to the 1.4 mpi head that he is running already. also found in novas and astras and cavs
