I have unfortunately killed my little 1.2 8v engine, but it just seems slightly pointless to replace it again with the same engine

if i were to put 1.2 16v or a 1.4 16v in it place. would it be a straight swap almost? or would there be a few other bits that are going to cost quite a bit, that need to be changed?

any help appreciated

Easier getting a 1.4 8V - that's an afternoon conversion.

Me and a friend found one in perfect mechanical order for £10 + VAT, it wasn't fast - but nevertheless, was faster than the 1200.
