Personally I would always go for a car engine over a bike, but I think if my only choice was bike or Pinto I would definately go bike engine, being a more modern engine.

If I had a choice of car engine it would be a Zetec or Duratec

We should have a choice of cars on the Essex Kit Car Club stand, worth an ask

Its obviously an Aprils fool.... I mean, what idiot would fit a bike engine into a car

And with your fat ass, youll need the torque of a car engine!!

If you're going to be at Detling come in & see us at Essex Kitcar club, there are guys with car & bike engines so we can talk you thro' the pros & cons - I'm not sure how easy it will be to get in & out at Detling when the show is on, but I'm sure one of the lads would take you for a squirt (Or, looking at the weather forecast should that be "take you for a bath!"

Remember that the IVA needs a reverse gear, and thats expensive on a Bike Engined car.

You can always put the bike engine in later on, as a winter project. Especially if you already have the pinto engine and a box.

Just my 2d's worth.
