Big Block 1600 8v?

[Dod]

Out of a Cav I just bought, what boxes and drives do they use?

[mowgli]

if its a mk2 cav, then the 1600 bigblock fits to an f16 box

[mikey14sr]

F16 upwards iirc, inc F28 if you want it.

[Dod]

Its a mk3 Cav. I'm guessing its not a great engine or has it got any tuning potential? Things like 2.0 NE Cams etc?

[Will F]

its an 8v, so only has one cam.

No tuning potential either - huge waste of time!;)

[mowgli]

i always assumed the 1.6 small block was fitted into the mk3, the 16sv??? i think, but the 1.8 big block was also fitted....

[Dod]

I ment the 2litre cam, not 2 cams. lol

Mowgli, I did as well, I've owned around 5 1.6s and they were all small block.

[djbrowney]

the 1.6 big block found in the cav was a 1.6se iirc

[Sloth]

it will be an spi, code c16sz1 or c16nz1 dependant on year. late mk3 had em.

[Dod]

So worth keeping or dump it?

[peester]

dude, arent these things a bit useless..?
what happen to 1.8 small block suggestions/idea??

[Dod]

The 18 Small block is a go'er but not in a Cav. ;)

[Benn]

1.6spi? Not worth a wa*k.

[Dod]

Bin it is. Cheers folks.
