    simple answer is no.

    you will need EVERYTHING for the ST engine. you will need the ST gearbox, ST engine wiring harness, ST ECU, ST instrument cluster, the keys for the car the engine came out of, ST drive shafts, ST engine mounts (your 1.4 mounts could be diffrent or not up to the job for all the power). PLUS you have to inform the DVLA and that will affect your insurance premium.

    best just spend the £180 and get the cam belt done

    You'd need as a short-list; engine, gearbox, loom, ecu, injectors, ancillaries, mounts, exhaust, speedo, brakes... The list goes on, it's cheaper to just get your cam belt done :P

    Plus, insurance, road worthyness, etc.
