you fit it they never came out like that they only came out as 4cylinder and 6 cylinder

you have to have a special paper to drive it though

@TheLevendi1996 yes i fitted the engine, it was originally a 2.0. I dunno what country you're in but no special papers needed to drive it on the road in the UK. Just tell DVLA the new engine number and capacity and declare the modifications to the insurance company. Thats all you need to do.

[Mwwahaha]

It was all looking good until you paned out...

@Mwwahaha what were you expecting? It's a cortina

[nikojak09]

have you got any clue where i could get a digram for su carbs and where did you get your carb and how mutch? is it a webber or edlebrook

[blinkynoo]

forget su's, they're crap, they strangle the engine., inneficient with shite fuel economy. weber 500 came from rpi and was about £300 from memory. carb is a weber but is marketed by edelbrock and so has the edelbrock name.. edelbrock performer manifold came from v8 developments and was about £170. it's expensive but the gains are worthwhile

[MrNxjohn]

did you fit the engine or buy it like that ?
