The easiest upgrade from the 1098cc engine is a 1275cc engine from a Marina/Ital, the engines are pretty much a straight swop apart from the flywheel and backing plate. You either need to get your 1098 flywheel machined or go to a Minor specialist and get an already machined flywheel (Marina/Ital flywheels are 6 bolt and a dowel, 1098 flywheels are only 4 bolts) and the engine backplate is different (also available from Minor
