Would putting a 1.4 coilpack head onto the 1.3 block work?

Why is the 1.4 easier?

I've got a dizzy 1.3L 1994 engine (engine was perfect but the car rotted away) that I would like to put into my, 1.0L 2002 coilpack Micra (11,000 miles no rust but as flat as a fart) I've got the complete 1.3 Micra, will I need to transfer electrics or could I bore the head of the 1.0 coilpack...

Yes, it was the lambda sensor.. Should have been one of the first things to check but it was changed less than a year ago. Anyway while fiddling I had knocked the ignition timing out so got that reset and a new lambda and everything is fixed!

So I should have sorted the MAF with the soldering of the throttle body (it's 1994 so the MAF is built in and cannot be removed) I was unaware the TPS required calibration so I have googled it and found tutorials on how to do it. So I'll attempt it tomorrow along with a new throttle cable and...

I haven't hooked it up to a tester but when I've pulled a sparkplug out and ran it on 3 cylinders you could see a good spark on the plug. (I did this when I was diagnosing the misfire prior to the power loss) Also an update too! - as my car stands now it has new service parts, freshly soldered...

Hello all, quick update.. I played about with the distributor to experiment with different angles once mounted and it seamed to have some effect but does anyone know a way to find the exact point which it needs to sit easily? Also gave it a service so the fuel filter was changed.. However the...

Thanks guys! I'll have a good look into all of your suggestions over the next couple days, thanks again!

It was idling fine once I got it started, then cutting out under strain. The we tested all the sensors by running the car on idle and removing one at a time (the one that made no difference being a prime suspect). All sensors including that one made it worse, the only thing that made it...

Hello, so where do I begin.. My Micra developed a misfire (I changed the injector and sorted that) but during it's time misfiring it developed a long hesitation when I put my foot down, the revs would build slowly but the car failed to accelerate, then suddenly -as though a turbo kicked in- it...
