Welcome.

If your car is off the road, why not turbo the engine you have. There is very little difference between a standard 1275 and the Metro turbo engine, other than the bits bolted to it.
Thought the pistons, cam shaft (unless its a mayfair) valves and oil pump were all different in the turbo.

Your going to be spliting the engine anyhow so you might as well a proper job and build the type of motor you want.

hi,
as said before its good to know everything is in good working order once you have re-built it instead of hoping for the best from a unknown engine.

You should at least change the pistons and oil pump in a proper rebuild. If you really want more power then a change of valves and camshaft are adviseable.

So any 1275 gives you the basic components for a turbo engine.
