Why not save a lot of hassle and fit a 1.8 back in it?

I know that it won't be a drop in, but that is as far as my knowledge extends. New mounts are required. 
You may as well go with a 1.3, or maybe you could put in a newer small block.

Have you got an insurance quote for what would be a modified cabriolet with the 1.3 engine? I think you'll find its higher still….

Also the car you create will be almost worthless
