You would need to uprate your suspenion, add antiroll bars uprate your breaking system. Then you would have to convert the engine.
Insurance could be a big problem as your doubling the size of the engine.
To be honest it would probably be cheaper to buy an Si 1.6 then convert that. It would also be easier to insure.

Its not the suspension that usually a problem ,as lots have people already have uprated kit.
Problem is you have to replace the fuel tank, all the manifolds, the exhaust, gearbox, ancilleries, and the biggest baxtered of the them all, the wiring loom!
Get all the bits though and MMOGenius will sort you out. Anyone have a link to his cost chart?

As we are here, The whole wiring loom?
Why do you need to change the tank? Only if you dont have an internal pump?

Same thing to go 1.1 too 1.6.
The tank can be kept from the 1.1, however its as easy to swap the complet tank as it is to swap the pup over in the tanks. The pump on the 1.1 is designed for CFI where as the 1.6 is designed for EFI.
its not a small task by any means.
the front Engine mount/stabaliser has knowhere to go on a Mk3 chassis so that has to be welded in.
Complete loom change - Dash out job
You have no P/s on your 1.1 so either swap the racks and column over or re-route the aux belt.
Ideally you should also be looking at swapping suspension set up (ARB's) and brakes as the car will now have more power.
Its not the same as a 2.0 into a 1.6 zetec thats for sure.

Is the 1.1 tank on the carb'd models able to accept the an EFi pump, or is that only the CFi tank that can be converted?

Max - as you gota 3.5 im not sure about whole loom change but yes, the fuel tank, pump, rail etc has to be changed. It is a huge job and not cheap for what it is.

With a fuel injection system like EFI, the fuel rail connects to the injectors and transports fuel to them at a given pressure
