Not worth the hassle or work, so much needs changing that the swap is not worth it for the gains you will get back.

so you have a 1.4 and want to swap engine to a 2.0? if so i just did something similar to mine (1.6 to 2.0) and if you can source a donor car i dont think its much of a trouble and i see the parts there are actually nice then here so if you need some pointers just let me know, cheers
