1.8 or 2.0 Pinto

Is there much difference. I have seen a Tiger with a 1.8 Pinto i like the look of. It is apparently running 130bhp.

Which is the better engine and why?

Will i notice much in it between the two?

Cheers

Wouldn't get too hung up on BHP figures quoted as they are by and large guess work.

A 1.8 Pinto with a fast cam and 40s/45s will be enough to put a smile on your face in a Tiger.

A 2.0 will give another 15-20 BHP if both engines are in standard-ish trim.

I wouldn't (didn't) let the 1.8 put you off, just assess the car as a new 2.0 is £100 and a days work.
