deffinatley the xe

as im sure your know there is issue with the b16 honda engine that means that the gearing will allwasy be miles out with the gearboxes avalible to run with the engine, onyl way to get it anywhere near right it to run 14" wheels, which is a problem

with the XE, and a f16 gearbox (most of them had f20's) the gearing is spot on for 14" wheels

Quite the opposite over here - XE's go for around 500-600 sheets.

do it radders, it'd be better than the engine you're planning, head cams throttle bodies will be cool on that XE engine

the b16 is a honda engine

XE is a 2ltr 16v vauxhall engine

f16, f20, f28 etc are vauxhall gearboxes
