Building: a pile of bits that will someday be a fisher fury

02-03 injection is probably the easiest to install but the 04 or later has 175bhp as opposed to 150bhp for the earlier engine. the early carb engines are getting a bit thin on the gound for low mileage ones

I think the later engines, though more power, produce it all at the top end and don't make for great BEC engines.

I'm having the same considerations and there's a thread running in the BEC forum as to which is best - EFI or cabs

the newer engine has more power (and more torque) from about 6000rpm onwards compared to the older engine its max power is at a very high rpm (12500) that doesnt mean it isnt any good as the torque curve is fairly flat ove most of the rev range.
