Engine choices - forest car

ENgine choice for a forest car...

Any one any ideas...


S2000 - my fav choice
NA cossie
astra
bd YEAH RIGHT

[RS2000&MEXICO]

just go with a 2.2 pinto..

[RS2000CUSTOM]

S2000 are awesome plus Honda reliability

N/A Cossy - Expensive to get right

XE Vauxhall - (relatively) cheap to get 200+ bhp

Forest calls for smooth continual torque curve through a grippy transmission/tyres

Look for torque and not outright BHP

My engine of choice ??

Well that depends on class entered

1400cc - Rover K series ! Cheap as chips and all ally

2000cc - N/A Cossy

Please dont hang me for backing ROVER as the b******s are making me redundant - lol lol lol

What sort of budget do you have and are you thinking of building it yourself or buying one?
I would recomend a 16v astra or n/a cossie

gp1 pinto

If you go Rover you can kiss good bye to the budget Unless you can get head gaskets and bolts at bulk discount.
Shouldnt complain really,there good for business and quick turn around :albino: Pull the motor out of KIA You cant drive 2 at once!!! 400+bhp 2wd and trees at either side!!! :cyclops:

valver cheaper than cossie , stay clear of the zetec's big money and no better than a valver , but if want a cheap engine nowt better than the old transit engine :cheese:
