I fitted a 1.3 motor and gearbox to my 1.0litre zook. The gearbox tunnel was very tight, with my 50mm body lift. So a hammer or widening of tunnel, or even weld in a 1.3 tunnel may be needed. Electric wiring is different, so transfer of wiring loom may be needed. I have been told the body mounts dont line up, so some fabbing could be needed. But I have never measured it up. Body is basically same shape as a 1.3 narrow track, so it could be feasible. |

Sounds like it is worth a look into. Especially if body is a cheapy. I started looking into fitting a 1.3 body to my 1.0, but cost was same as just buying a 1.3. |

I measure my 1.3 nt chassis with a 1l body and the mount are completely different. Front clip might be the same but body mounts are different. |

1L body mounts are different. With a little work you can get it to fit though. EDIT: Just to add to this, as Chrisover said, the tunnel is much narrower. The shifter hole is in a different spot, there is no accomodation for a brake booster on the firewall, the bonnet will not clear the 1.3, and I think thats about it. |

I've found that if the 1.0 body uses the cone type rubber mounts, it will fit a 1.3 chassis nicely. The early 1.0 with flat rubbers will only line up with a few 1.3 mounts. |
