carlknight1982 - 3/1/09 at 03:51 PM

Right so I now have 2 options for my engine and am looking into the fountain of advice that is this forum.

I have chosen my fueling setup already I have a pair of 40 Dcoe webbers which i plan on using,
the engine options are

1.6 silvertop zetec mondeo engine, currently my grandfathers daily drive.

2.0 pinto from a capri - unproven and unknown

i got the old man a diesel car now so will be looking to use the mondeo as a donor if its going to be better off than the old anchor pinto, my chassis is a book chassis and i have a type 9 from a 2l going to a sierra 2l gls rear end.

any help / advice appreciated

In my opinion go for the zetec.

Zetec or Pinto... is that a rhetorical question?



PS - Zetec!
