It must be the time of year. How many engine conversion questions have come up in the last week?

DonnyDan, you should always fit vented brakes if you don't have them (you need calipers, discs and pads).

Gearbox will be fine.

You should fit the 1300 carb and inlet manifold.

Carb won't always come with the engine.

If you can find one, fit the 1300 exhaust but the 1100 exhaust will do the job fine for the time being.
