8 valve or 16 valve? The whole intake pipe has confused me. To me it looks like a carb. But its all just a jumble of pipes and bits.
Thanks
Jordi

Looks like an 8 valve carb to me.
Edit: 1996 will be fuel injected, but it's an 8 valve.

Answers i can live with. Asked if he just wants to sell engine see if i can get a bargain.
PMd rockwatt about doing my manifolds and rocklobster in february. That could all tie in nicely.
Some engine prices are crazy. Made some phone calls and enquries earlier anywhere from £50 pretty much for a block to £800. Seriously. I got quoted £800 for a 1.6 carb'd engine!
Thanks for the help

would like to do a engine conversion, is the single point injection the same as the carbed to fit? ie, does it have ECU etc..

Of all the places i've tried cheapest for a transplant motor has been £250 but that was mile away, was £300 delivered. Out of all the yards need to me i've spoke to 5/6 and found one for £350.
Hoping that ebay seller gets back to me. Atleast from what i've read on here SPI is easy enough to convert to SU. All i need to a fuel pump apparently?

Jordi if you're a 8v SPI I might know of a cheap one available if you're interested.. It sat in a workshop was in my mates vit till he put TD lump in, just has no sump on it but you use 1.3 sump anyway?
