Upgrade 1.4 8v to 1.6 8v

[Foxy-jim]

Hi all, sorry that I haven't been on here for ages and ages. I still have the 306 and at the moment he's still going well!

However, the engine is coming up to 100,000 miles now and I want something more powerful but still love the look of my car. The solution I have come up with is to swap for a 1.6 8v (VTR) engine. I know a few of you will say I may as well change for a different engine like a gti, but for ease and keeping cost down this is what I'd like to do, along with a fast road cam.

So my question is...if I buy an 8v engine then is it just as simple as swapping out my 1.4 motor for the 1.6, then give it a remap to make it work?!

Or will I need to change looms, driveshafts etc? I know I will need the 1.6 injectors and fuel rail/pump etc.

If anyone can help me it would be great! Found a cheap engine that I need to buy tomorrow if I'm going to get it!
