I don't have the torque specs but I'm with you on having a donor 1.3 to minimise the down time of the swap, it also has the benefit of a full set of ancillaries to go into stores for if and when they are needed.

I did not use a torque wrench at all when i did my swap.
Cannot recommend that of course, but if you are well experienced in doing mods and other mechanics you could do this by feel like I did.
To move stuff over from the 1.3 just takes a few hours max so i wouldn't bother with the extra 1.3 engine. I did however prepare the 1.6 in advance before starting on the car. Removed the bottom, removed wiring, manifolds, cooling pipe and everything to be switched over.
Too much space lost in my garage for the one surplus 1.3 already :)

Me neither. It's only a few ancillaries that need swapping over. There are no torque-critical components like bearing caps or cylinder heads.

The 1.6 injectors will need to be put into the 1.3 inlet manifold.
