Does the Swift GTI head fit straight onto the 1.3 block with no major work
Just need a thermostat housing and some smarts
GTI head also fits the 16V 1600

what about a 1.6 8v??

yep, also u would be better of on the 1.6 block because it will increase the tourqe a large amount which the 1.3 is lacking..

You do have a problem with the fly cuts on the pistons with the 8V but you can change the pistons

And you will need to source a perticuler timing belt to make it all work ,
as the 1.6 block is taller
