Need help on engine choice (again)

Postby AshleySi on Thu Sep 24, 2009 12:03 am

ok a few months or weeks ago i was writing about ZVH my 1.6 si, when one of my mechanic mates said to me wouldnt it just be alot easier to use the full FRST engine instead, now i was wondering if anyone can give me any advice on the pro's and cons, like would it be cheaper to install. not really to bothered about power at the moment just want something around 160bhp. Now my main problem is a few other mates have suggested it to be alot harder to CVH my car than ZVH it due to my been the zetec engine, again is this truth or bs ?? thanks in advance Ash.
