MK3 1.4 8v to 2.0 8v

Someone plase give me a guide and advise to what engine then? I think the vr6 is a bit big and probs more expensive right?
What do I need to change other than brakes and suspension?

this seriously isn't worth doing, I have a 1.4 (I drive at the moment) and an 8v gti (kind of project until insurance drops off a bit), I considered doing a swap too but pretty much every part of the car is different apart from the chassis, you would pretty much have to do a complete chassis swap. The brakes and suspension on the 1.4 is sh!t, and so is pretty much everything else about it I am afraid.
If you want a project car just do what I am doing and buy a GTI to begin with and tweak/restore that for a bit until your insurance is cheaper. They are so cheap at the moment, you could pick up a half decent one for as little as £300.

I think buying a gti would be the wisest thing to do..
Just make this one look sweet, sell the fiesta and buy a 2.0 8v and start on that!
