What engine for 140+ BHP
What would be a good 4 pot CEC engine for a 7 / fury type that will be good for 140-160 bhp without having to strip and modify the thing? Budget
about a grand ish i guess
eg, 2litre zetec with throttle boddies etc....?

I still think the VX engine deserves a look in to any CEC engined queries...

i seem to be quite keen on vauxhall engines these days...
c20xe
x20xev
c20let...
all good for 140bhp as standard, x20xev's actually about 137bhp as standard, but a tiny bit of work can push it over that, c20let is the turbo,
and the c20xe is the redtop 150bhp standard

Zetec every time.
There are loads of them out there.
The power is there.
They're cheap.
Anything else is going to be more hassle.

There was a Guy Croft on ebay recently - complete with a Sylva.
Don't think it broke 500 quid

4age 20v, Relaiable.....
I tought being light and revvy was also an issue in these cars, complete stock exept for the ECU does 163hp @7800rpm, and 131nm from 2300rpm best
inbetween BEC and CEC if you ask me.
it is 100+hp per liter NA in stock form, how many of the afformentioned engines make that?
volvo engines are also very nice, heavy though in 5cyl configuration. oh and if it was a mojo or such a good old V-tec

Zetec 1.8 or 2.0 or K16 1.6 or Toyota 4age
The K16 1.6 just puts out 112 hp in standard form but as with the Zetec just fitting throttle bodies will give you the extra power.
