sell the engine.... it isnt worth jack sprat...

I'f you doing a kit car start with a well catered for engine!

2.0 16v vaux
1.6 8v CVH ford
2.0 16v Zetec Ford

can be had for pennies.

No point in making your car handicapped from the word go

I think, if that engine is free, take it and sell it as you have nothing to lose! Use the money from that engine to buy one of the above suggested engines!

Whack a set of twin 40's on it ditch the injection and whack it in a kit car weighing less than 700kg - So much fun

Dont listen to em saying its shoot if its free so what.

Set of Carbs with set up would see that well past 130bhp - in a kit car awesome fun.

Something different and before anyone laughs the Hyundai 1.6 16v is well known to be "the most realiable" in its class.

The problem you have is that you'll spend money getting it to fit, right gearbox etc., so the engine being free is not really a bonus, please you're left with something which parts are going to be more difficult to source, there's not as much available or known about tuning it.
