I'd imagine the inlet manifold would be shared with the 16XE engine, so all you'd need is a set of throttle bodies in a suitable bore of 40 or 42mm.

Too much hassle for no point IMHO, unless you're using the car to compete in a 1400cc class or something.

If you want performance, then no other engine swap is worth doing. Concentrate on the car's braking and suspension.

2.0 engines leak oil all the time & Vauxhall don't let you buy new seals. You have to but a new engine every time

You can put throttle bodies on a 1.4 a worth while but costly job. Plus you could always up grade it to a 1.6 when you insuranse is better

They sound amazing do it! JR's old 1.4 had 136 bhp without TB's and all it needed was TB's to finish it. It was an amazing engine. It ran a 15.7 on its first and only 1/4 mile which is XE teritory. PLus with TB's i reckon it would of been mad
