Don't expect crazy power figures (unless you want to stick on a GT40, run methanol through mechanical injection and go for 500RWHP :P) on a standard engine, but they are reliable, sound good and easy to fix if anything goes wrong. You can still get respectable figures from a "tractor" engine though.

Fair enough. I am more into the original side of thing but i dont mind bout the power. She will have a little bit of get up and go. Thats all i need :)

For a 2.0L 4 cylinder carby engine from the 70s, they're a good thing. Nowadays, they're really only an option if you want to stay period-perfect, minimse conversion hassles, or just love the sound of twin sidedraughts at 6000rpm.

Good ones with exhaust, cam and carby work should see 100kw at the wheels, but don't expect much more. There are much newer, more powerful and lighter engines out there if you have no qualms not staying period.
