My thoughts are to grab the bargain engine that we are STILL selling. It's a serious engine, but we are selling it for cost price. Steel Rods/Forged Pistons etc etc. Ł3k.

just cant justify 3k. at worst I'd be spending 2k on one.
do you build engines that runn a reliable 220-250 bhp? would they be ok on mfi?
and what would the damage be? cheers
