x2 what tom said, by far the best mod for power, have had good 1.3's in the past and they are great off road, but the torque from the 1.6 is great on the road, you can even do something called 'overtaking' add the SU and you will probably get better fuel economy through in for good measure too.

Yeah it really is a dead easy swap. The only things you really need are a strong friend and a drill
