No replacement for displacement.
I'd go for the 1400 with T40's mate because like coochisr says it is rewarding when you have stuck to the tail of something more powerful and its still a 1.4.
Plus - cheaper tax and insurance and more MPG!!!

Insurance ain't going to be that much different to a xe when you tell the insurance company you've fitted twin carbs and almost doubled the power output of your engine,Originally Posted by tom_beverley
XE will give more mpg than a 1400 on 40s all day long.
I'd go Xe. You'll only get bored with the 1400.

My big spec small block only did about 170 miles to a full tank. It went very very well and sounded awesome. But its now sold to a nova sport owner and i'm fitting a LET.
So i'd sell the XE and buy a LETSneaky option 3!

But im hoping to LET my OTHER shell!!
So having 2 LETs would be greedy really!!
Will the car in question or the LET be a daily driver?
The car in question is currently my Daily Drive SR
But its super clean, so im gonna rebuild it with a few choice bits n bobs and use it as a show/weekend thing to be kept in my loverly heated garage!
Stu, you never listen to me do you!
TB'd XE for track, LET for road, problem solved.
Plus im fed up with you telling me you could have 130BHP. I wouldnt get out of bed for that sort of power

The xe will use less fuel and be faster. There is a reason why so many people have xe's in their novas.
And the XE will cost less.
T40s nowadays are going for ?200-?400 for just the carbs alone.
