hey just wondering what engine to get next well just getting ideas together.

i currently have a 1.4 sri corsa b on a 1993 plate with 160k miles, the millage is a bit of a consern to me so i would like a engine transplant.

i dont want redtops and lets sorry not yet anyway

1.6 8v is the only engine you can put straight in with no new mounts, even the small 16vs need a new mount on the driver's side.

Yeah, but if you plan on rebuilding it, don't pay more than the start price on that one.
