Engine will change round very easy, but you need to change the fuel pump and line ends to MPI spec.

Then its just the loom to sort, all the other bits like shafts etc should be the same as the 1.4

The actual lines themselves are fine, but the connecting bits at the end of the lines are different on MPI to SPI.

Yours as the nova one wont your exhaust system.
Get the fuel line ends off a mpi car, they have screw on unions.
Need a mpi fuel pump.

Definently change the cambelt and oil before trying run it.
