Sprite and Midget are identical except for small changes in trim.
'65 had a 1098cc engine, '67 had the same engine block bored to 1275cc.
The latter is supposed to be stronger and has more power. It is a common
upgrade to put the 1275 into earlier cars. It will bolt straight in, no
problems.
Definitely choose this option, no additional work involved and the car
will actually be worth something when it is to be sold.
