I have a A10 bored to 1400cc w/ flat top pistons new valves and lumpy cams sitting in my backyard. That is also on my list to do.

The engine in your car is not an A10 engine as these engines had the distributor mounted right at the front of the engine, just above the oil pump & the altenator was mounted low on the manifold side of the engine.
If you have bored an A10 out to 76mm with A14 pistons then it should now displace 1071cc & with the short 59mm stroke, ir should rev well, but will be a bit short on torque & the original gearbox will be able to handle it quite OK. The A10 is a graet engine, but the later engines were improvements on this design & unless one was racing in a 1 litre class, or building a restoration, most people go for the 1200 or later A12/ A14/ A15 upgrade, which is what has already happened in your car.
As has already been said, check the engine number prefix to determine just what engine that you really do have.
