i think the 1000 may have a 3.1 in it, or maybe a 2.95

I have just moved from a 3.2 to a 2.95 and its great for a road car, I found even the 3.2 a bit frantic and first gear just spun the wheels. website:- http://www.terryhunt.co.uk

We run 3.9's on the racing Metro's, but they made to rev abit higher than normal & quite low boost.. Totally shite for road use.
