there would be no point really in changing 1.4 to a 1.6 might aswell save some money and buy a 2 liter zetec

why no point? 1.4 to 1.6 is a plug&play engine swap plus maybe an ECU, going for 2.0 is a serious work...

1.4 and 1.6 are both Zetec-SE, both have the exhaust manifold at the back (between engine and bulkhead so to say). I'm quite sure the swap would be pretty much straightforward. As said, the ECU and parts of the exhaust system would be needed aswell.

The 1.8 and 2.0L Zetecs are a totally different type...
