I'm not sure how I feel about your weight 1040 kg is 2288 lbs, my Mustang weighs 3483 lbs (or 1582 kg) so for only 542 kg more I've got a 300HP V8 and rear wheel drive
Yeah, the 2.0l from tomcats and wedge style 214, unfortunatly we are seeing less of these engines, the 2.0l head is is the same as the 1.8l vvc head except the intake manifold is injection rather then vvc.

Oh and i believe this is the classic arguement :P power or lightness. Once my engine is complete it should be putting out more then the standard 106hp, im aiming for around 150hp out of this 1.4, you will have twice the power but im 502kg ligher. I feel a race coming on haha, maybe one day when i move to america, i want to ship the car over, i believe they didn't sell this in america so it would be unique.
