Hi  IWMofficial, as a new user we'd like to advise you to 100% ignore specialist. It's our resident troll and spews inane garbage. You'll get some good information from other board members.
Be careful with that, Bill Cox will be offended someone else is taking credit for his fine work
No, it was Justine Nunes who worked on Pat kaye’s engine upgrade, not Bill Cox.

Well constructed sentence.  Correct punctuation.  Knowledge. ??


Either isn't-a has had a revelation overnight, or someone has forgotten to log out before posting...


Come on, which of the band of regulars has the double personality ?

Cheap, Reliable, Fast - pick two of three...
Unfortunately that completely sums it up. 

Powerful is also a relative term.  BIG POWER from an A-series is less than a standard shopping car these days.

Decide what you want to do, then we'll be able to give better advice (except for isn't-a-specialist, as he's a cock-end).

More seriously though, you'll want a 1275 based engine at least.

Guys I just want to shout out what kind of engine is cheap, not that hard to find, powerful but still an A series engine? What should I do if I’m saving weight? What is bassically something I can go fast in but cheap and easy to get? Thanks everyone! (Follow me on instagram @idiots_with_moters )
