No decided it was too far, no reverse gear, not registered, as I tried to tick the boxes it just didn't stack up, as to the V8 it's only £265ish, same as anything over 1.6L it's a 1998 engine so gets rated on that. But I don't think it would happen anyway not for the road, it's currently destined to be fitted to my son's 1996/7/8? BMW E36 3 Series. We've just got to decide can we get it running on the wiring loom we've pulled out or is he going to have to shell out for an ECU250buggys":2a8qbbi3 said:Alan did you ever go and look at that bike engined 7 up my way?

Most important it creates a new build thread for us to enjoy.
2 litre Zetec engines are at give away prices, you can have one delivered to your door on a pallet for little more than the shipping cost.
You will always want more power in the long run
It fits under the bonnet, it's the logical upgrade
Did I mention they are cheap. ;D
It will add a heap of value with a bigger engine.
150 with a kit spares plenum or easily 170 with throttle bodies, there are so many upgrades for Zetecs.
Also they are cheap ;D
