This gives you a damn fine engine, you get the 1.6rrs, you get better heads and intake, and i reckon youre good for 350 brake horse and about 200,000 miles. Sure it cost more, but you want to do this right first go, and a long block with 25,000 miles is not my ideal choice for longevity, you never know what can go wrong with that, so many unknowns. For all you know, it couldve sat around for 5 years in which case youll be lucky to get 100,000 miles with no issues. It couldve had the arse flogged out of it, couldve been over heated, over revved, or mis treated in some other way, and 100,000 miles may even be an optimistic figure. If you were to go with that, first thing id do is pull it apart, bore it over 30 thou, throw in a new rotating assembly, and build up a new engine. If you did that, you may as well buy a bare block. |
