*energy* Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Now that the body is almost finished on my mk1 I'm looking to change the engine...the wee 1600 cih just won't match the cars look. So I'm looking for an engine package for sale...something ready to bolt in essentially. I have xe engine mounts,and a getrag box that I could use. Question is what's out there to give my cav a bit more poke and rip...not looking for blistering performance... Cara built to cruise:-) Cash waiting for something..

Snowy Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 How much more work do you want to do though? Is the car already set up for fuel injection or do you want to stick with carbs? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiney_norman Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 1.8E from a mk2 Cav? Use the Manta 1.8 sump with the bits you have already and you've got a nice, light engine with 115bhp which isn't as obviously out of place as a redtop. I also happen to have one available 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mantadoc Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 You have a saloon so a GTE tank isn't a huge amount of work, after that it depends if you have the 1.8 sump as well as the mounts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
