The engine will fit in, you will probably need new mounts loom etc.
8v Sri is mpi.

Mate, dont swap your 1.4 8v for a 1.4 16v, the 8v's are miles better and quicker.

The 8v ones that are 75bhp compared to 90 bhp, and have less torque? Don't think so.

agreed there, only really worth it if you are putting a 1.6 16v in

Its not all about power, its about the way the power is delivered. I'd rather drive the 16v at 80mph than the 8v any day.
