Bigger Better Carburettor, Sports exhaust system including 4-branch manifold and a sports air filter is always a good place to start

I didn't know that insurance deal thing. You can get old Capri's with 3.0 engines in them, and cost **** all to insure.

its not as simple as basing it on the car it came from or people would be using highpower engines in all sorts, its based on thew car its from. the car it goes into bodywise and then how reliable the car is and also the repairs will cost more as only specialist garages will work on it. so your insurance goes up as you also have to get it independantly checked and a report filed to make sure it passes all the tests. then you have to inform all the relevent bodies, unsure if there is any charges for it.
