so add a bit for labour & we are talking $6000.00 just for the engine. still buying a front cut & fitting an N/A SR or FJ isn't cheap either. I keep going round and round in circles with all of the engine choices available. I dont know why but N/A seems to feel like the right way to go, but forced induction is light weight horsepower. It's easy to get caught up worrying about CAMS classes as well. An N/A FJ20 or SR20 is supposed to be 150hp, which is pretty good for a stock engine. KA24's are torquey, but you go up another CAMS class.
oh well, i have quite a few months ahead to consider my option i guess :0) ta Jeff -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Errol Smith Sent: Thursday, 15 September 2005 5:21 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Speaking of L16's My 1600 race engine had 92 Rear wheel kw's (approx 165 crank hp @ 7300 and 130 ft/lb torque @ 6000). Bare engine only (no carbs or dissy flywheel or clutch), cost me $4200 to build in todays money with no labour cost.

A 2 litre will give better bang for your buck.

I am forward thinking to next year once I have my suspension sorted out weather I should think about an engine transplant or just spend money on improving the engine that I already have. ta Jeff -- No virus found in this incoming message.
