Yaris verso engine swap

[Decieved]

New owner to a yaris verso 00/01 1.3

Its my first toyota so i dont know much about them but have been fiddling with cars all to long.

Round these parts they never sold the verso with the 1.5L engine, does anyone know what the difference between the two models if i wanna swap the engine out? Is the tranny the same? Driveshafts? Hubs?

Looking to do as little as possible as this is a daily driver so no cutting up firewalls and welding and the sorts :)

Oh yeah since we dont have the 1.5L yaris verso the engine will have to come from the std yaris if that makes any difference, and i have a working ac aswell(sadly im to cheap to run it :) )


The 1.3 engine runs decent i guess could need a little more power, the clutch action is very short but it doesnt slip? and the engine(i assume) makes a wierd noise i never have heard in a car before when loading the engine.
I will probably end up fixing these things but i had the thought of just getting a spare engine and looking it over while driving the car and then just swapping it out when its finished.

If there are other engine options im open for suggestions as long as its not downsizing :)
