All that work to your engine to sell it hey. Suppose the 1.6 route is the only way to get any real more power. Cant imagine ya 1.4 lump wil b worth much am afraid tho. Every1 doin engine conversions is intent on the 2ltr route. Ya not think it would be worth selling the bits of it individually? could b wrong!

yeah, i just found a wikid little engineering firm 3mins from my house and they do loadsa work on scooby rally cars etc, and they no what they are doing, so will get some head work done, lighten and balance the bottom end, want 130bhp at least, its a c16xe so they respond well to mods better than the ecotec x16xe engine
