Unlucky :( I've had a few non standard engines in cars over the years; 1850cc American CVH, CVH on twin 40's and a Kent cam, stage 2 CVH from a track car....currently running a 1.6 Fiesta RS Turbo engine with 1mm overbore, hybrid turbo, injectors and chip, gives around 175'ish bhp at a guesstimate
If I wanted an easy life I'd go with a CVH again on carbs, probably DCNFs. Some owners have ZVH's, others have full Zetecs and one particular madman has a Fiat engine in his (Hi Neil!) - it'll depend on your engine frame as to whether you'll need to cut and weld or not and your electrickery skills on adding to the loom if you go for EFi Andy On Saturday, 13 April 2013 17:48:50 UTC+1, Keith Joseph wrote: > > Does anyone know what engines, apart from the standard 1.6 CVH, will fit > onto the mk2 XR2 gearbox in my 2+2? > > I've managed to shear off one of the bolts holding the thermostat housing > into the head and after attempting to remove the remainder of the bolt, > I've snapped the stud extractor within the sheered bolt!
