There was also a 1300 GT i.e. version of the Y10 that used a different engine to the 1300 Fiat lump that was used in the UK 127's (127 1300 GT), Unos, 128's, Stradas, Regattas and Lancia Deltas. Is that a Brazil engine too?
Yes. I use the term a bit loosely since, while it is true that FIATs in Brazil use only that engine, it is also true that some FIATs in Europe, such as the 127 Sport you mention, also use that 'different' engine. So I'm not saying that the engine was only made in Brazil (could've read that way from what I said before!) but rather that the Uno in Brazil had that engine, and elsewhere in the world, the Uno didn't have that engine.
Pandamark - it's hard to explain the differences - it is actually a completely different engine that just happens to come in the same capacity as the other type (by 'other type', I mean the engine fitted to the 1984-88 Uno 55/60/70 models). For a start, the inlet and exhaust are both on the front of the engine, not both on the back (as they are on the other type). All the castings are different. It has a longer stroke than the other type, so a smaller bore (different pistons). That means the engine is dimensionally smaller - the mountings will be different. Sump is a different shape. Distributor is in a different place. Different cooling system. Many, many differences...
Here is a link to a picture of that engine type, albeit one that's been performance-modified and is in a 127 Sport...

Here is a really bad photo showing the engine fitted to an Uno (probably, a Brazil-built Uno):

Oh wait, here's the rest of the page revealing that it is, in fact, a Duna
The Duna is a four-door saloon that seemed to be trying to look like a Lancia Thema...

What a fascinating set of photos - had anyone seen the Premio before? (an 'Uno Coupe'!) - I certainly hadn't!
And for comparison, I've attached a picture of an Uno 60 1116cc engine such as you might find in the UK. It's of an Uno I used to own, since I couldn't find a single picture online of this engine! It's an especially hopeless picture (showing the repainted bonnet prop), but it's all I can find
The parts you need to worry about, like the electronic module on the distributor, the gearbox, and the clutch, are interchangeable with the other engines. I doubt you'll need major replacement engine parts (such as, a replacement cylinder head) but if you do, then yes, that could be a wee bit tricky.
If you're not concerned about originality, you could at that point decide to do an engine transplant with one from an Uno - as Dunc is suggesting.
