    Default Engine wanted

    Ive got a 1.2 merit 'H' reg in white and looking to rebuild a Gsi lookalike, ive got loads of gsi parts and i think ive got everything apart from the engine but i dont have a clue of what to put in it. I dont want to go big like red top but would be happy with 1.4 or even push to a 1.6.

    Need some advice.

    Thanks in Advance

    1.6 would be a good shout if you can find one. If it's a gsi lookalike. You would need to get the tank pump and box aswell.

    Or even a 1.6 16valve.

    It can look like a GSI on the outside and have a nice bit of power under the bonnet.
