8v are far cheaper to buy second hand, 16v will deliver more top end power, however 8v would be different cheaper and fun

well i just priced up everything for a camblet change... including waterpump and i haven't hit 25 quid yet , thats one also with the head being smaller you can get to alternator easy, things like that... ease of access cheap parts, and power/torque being lower down the revs
