1.6 16v is good. As is 1.8.
2.0 is easier and cheaper than it use to be though

'Redtops' are very reliable if looked after and regularly serviced, as per any engine really.

The 2.0 8v doesn't compare in terms of performance imo, you would be better off with a 1600 16v and a powerbox.

Or the 2.0 ecotec engine from likes of calibra/vectra etc will go in easy enough are 140hp. Don't listen to the haters calling 'ecowreck' there good engines and have plenty of poke to them.
