Why take the engine from one & put it in t'other (scratches head). Which makes me think bung the 2.0XE in.

I expect us SW boys could rustle up a mincing sesh & get her in.

keep the 16xe in b 17ova
then silp the 20xe in the new saloon
then you are benefitting from both of the engines :thumb:

Presume your keeping B17 alive?

Personally i think 2.0, because its easier than finding a new engine for B17.

if you have all the right bits and a XE sitting in your garage go for it mate , although if you want my opinion i would go small block !
