G'day,
I think in NSW think the largest legal turbo engine you can use in a 1000 is
1.6Litres, I'm not 100% on that I believe there is a formula to work this out. As far
as the 'easier' swap, they both will be difficult to fit, particularly the gearbox as
the 1000 has a small tranny tunnel . The engine mounts in the 1000 are fairly similar
to the 1200, but this is irrelevant if you're not using an A series. you'll need to
make new ones\modify the crossmember to suit anyway. I reckonit'd be a biig job, but
its not impossible. In facT, I reckon a 1200 would be easier straight off because it
has struts which you can swap to get bigger brakes, big brakes in a 1000 is more
complicated.
