C16XE - 40's
Gotta get a temporary engine build sorted...
My 1600 8v got pretty much annhilated by flood water, a rod is sticking out the block and the piston hit the head resulting in quite a bit of damage.
So, the only real thin i'm left with is a Camshaft. So i'm thinking i might go and buy a standard C16XE and run it on my Carbs.
What benefit or loss will i see by running it on carbs ? Price of cams ? Are 40's adequate ?

im suprised baxter. Was thinking you would say
fcuk the carbs, supercharge it
As Baxter says, you will need management for the ignition as you can't run a dizzy. Nowhere to mount it or drive it from.
Prolly easier to buy another 1600SE.
lads selling a throttle bodies setup on migwebf or the c16xe
I have some DHLA-?'s in the shed somewhere. Turbo carb power !im suprised baxter. Was thinking you would say

Balls, i totally forgot about the Ignition managment. May as well keep the 8v !
i have a brand new piper cam forsale.
nick... check your insurance , you may be covered for all engine repairs due to flood water , a mate of mine hit a huge puddle due to flooding and water got sucked into his engine, sending rod out through block , insurance paid out after they got report from garage ..
