I'd personally like to stay away from mechanical injection, just because of the limited power output. I'm the kind of guy who will put it in to get everything right with an ecu and electronic inj. A 1.9 I WOULD like to get...but for my Samurai. Or a 1.6 with a 1.9 head. Anyway, for a great looking car (P1800) I would just prefer a bit more umph and go go. I will be taking the chrome trim off the car along with a few more body mods and making it look more sporty, less classic. If it comes down to it, yeah, I'd put in a 1.9. With propane.

Thanks, I'll have to look it up later though. Unfortunately, right now all I have is dial-up.

'Stomp' makes 644 HP fuel only with a mechanical VE pump. you can find his truck on youtube.

You'll have to find a tranny with 1 3/8"+ input shaft long before that.
