Yip better forget about the 1.8 engine, no tuning goodies to be found, so leave it go for either a x-fow 1600 of pinto 2.0.

Early granadas are pinto,i had an 88 on an E-plate that was pinto and a mate has a G-reg with a DOHC(double overhead cam)engine.

Either engine can be used but most people seem to prefer pinto single overhead cam,tuning parts are more available for this engine.

Have a look at vulcan engineering in the links section.
