There is a wealth of information on this forum if you search for it going back years and years on pro's and con's of various conversions available. From simple 1242cc (1.2) 8V conversions to more complex but still straight forward 1.4 16V conversions to unconventional 2L Vauxhall red top conversion. What route you take will depend on your own abilities, timeframe and budget.
Though if you are going to carry out an engine conversion then it opens up the possibilities of buying a car with an engine issue like blown head gasket cheap. They are out there. I'd be looking around for the cleanest car bodywork wise so you can concentrate on the conversion itself.

Hello where in Scotland are you and if you want to come too meets when you get your car going pop over to fiat Scotland ?
Perthshire we have a few members from up your way too
Head on over to the Cinq/Sei section, better place to ask your questions.
The first question - do you want a fast car or a fast cento?
The amount of money you could put in to one of these projects vs. the actual gains isn't as a great as you'd get with a host of other cars. Not trying to put you off, just don't want another half finished project that someone realises half way through is never going to be a great car.
There's a wealth of info already available on here and here's a little light reading for you (in no particular order):
foxyemx's - Seicento 1.4 16v project
arc - 1.4 16v Cinq Dev thread
andys cinq - Abarth rebuild / 1.4 16v conversion
Kritip - 1.2 16v Sei Project
Lecook - Imola blue Cinq
Pirus - Shoebox 1.2 16v Seicento
Todger182 - Chalky 1.4 16v ITB Seicento
Dan - 1368 Cinq
Whitz - Cinq T-Jet Build
That should keep you busy for a while and answer some of your most basic questions.
We get a lot of people who've come on here and ask the same questions as you. Not trying to put you off, just that there's plenty of information available on here
