90bhp for the 8v I believe

id guess at around 90 if your lucky. It will be a big block so it'll need the same work as fitting an SEH or an XE, and wont be as good as a GTE lump just with more weight.

i think philsutton summed it up when he said he'd rather fit a toasty maker under the bonnet than a 1.8 lol

Single point injection.

Very smooth runners but miserable power output.

If you fancy a 1.8 8v, you want a multipoint injection 18SE from an F,G,H reg Astra SRi (mk2) or better still the 18E from the early A,B,C reg mk1 & mk2 Astra GTE's with the twin butterfly inlet. Great engines.
