Don't quote me on this, but I'm sure I read that the 999cc, 1108cc and 1242cc (SPI) heads are the same. Only the 1242cc MPI head is different as it has bigger valves and (I think) different stud spacing for the inlet manifold.
So a 999cc head should fit and work with an 1108cc block without any problems.
You could try asking the members Oldschool and Smokeme, as they are both very clued up on the different types of FIRE engines.
Tony i am waiting to hear back from a former cinq owner who might be parting with his 1108 engine, early indications seem to be that he wants £100 for it. It did 62000 miles and had a new timing belt and head gasket (old one was fine) before becoming a sculpture in his kitchen 
.
.sorry cant help about the tappets, probably best to ask one of the cinq owners . Tony would you be interested in this cinq engine, if we can find out if the engine is compatible?
edit - solo_italia has this engine on ebay...

Nope Just that it's a punto, not even sure of the year but it is an SPI 1108 engine the bloke said it was running spot on and only kept it cause it was so good, he had to get rid of lots of engines after visited by environmental lot but kept this one & it's been kept inside.
Also comes with starter, alt, etc although the Starter may not work with your flywheel.

Tony, if you pick it up, you can have my old alternator for £15 (was going to give it away, but i have had it reconditioned, which cost me £20)

It's about 1 mile from my workplace. You will already have the alt & starter on your own car so they will be spares or you can e-bay them to recover costs if not right as spares.Tony M said:
Cheers Alan, it's an ideal find.Alan.D said:

... the box is fine but it hates traffic ques... it sort or jars in between foot off the accellerator... don't know if Chris's is like that... but it's not ideal.

Tried an oil and filter change? I did one on Asbo (with the correct fiat oil and filter which cost about 80 quid all in and that's with my NIIMC discount
) and it made him much smoother in traffic.As I re-call, you where supposed to change the oil very 30000 miles or 3 years of something like that...
Edit - just checked the handbook, 36 months and 45000Km....
