Get an insurance quote on your's with an engine conversion and a 1.4 sport on it's own.

Then consider how much you could sell yours for and the price of the sport you want.

Remember you'll have to change the brakes, poss suspension too.

Unless you have a car with a dead engine there's no benefit at all to doing a conversion instead of buying a standard 1.4.
