hi i am changing my exsistent 1.8 pinto engine for a 2.0 out of a capri, will it make much difference in performance?

also since its out of a capri i understand that it doesnt have as much power as the 2.0 out of a sierra, what are the differences?

also wot type of top speeds should it be producing?

You will find the 2 litre a lot more fun than the 1.8. As for top speeds that rather depends on gearing, but suffice to say it *should* be fast enough to lose your license....

Besides, IMHO top spedd is not important, or even relevant in a Locost, but how fast it gets there.
