hi all i am thinking of puting a zetec with weber 40s on a simple ignition system but not sure what size to go for is there a great benifit for using a 2.0 rather than a 1.8 i seem to be able to get a 1.8 allot easier and cheaper than a 2.0 your comments would be gratfull many thanks ian

I went for a 1.8 as they are cheaper than a 2 litre and can get similar power to a 2 litre with 2 litre cams, just lack a little torque.

There are some 2 litres out there for reasonable cost though.
