the great thing about old pushrod motors like the A series is they are simple enough to work on yourself to do any job. with any new car say 5-10 yrs old u cant touich it a whole lot, even if u had the right computers and software etc...
the great thing about the A series engines is, with an A14/15, twin SUs, a cam, head work, high CR and a good exhaust you can piss on ANYTHING built in the last 15years, be it in a B110, B210 or B310
try getting the same result out of a slow-rolla or a hyundai for the same $$$ and i'll show you flying swine.
i love pushrod engines - Mopars and Dattos are my favourite cars of all time - but they have their place.
like slotting a pushrod 1300 ford kent engine into the latest Ford
KA and making it FWD just doesn't do it for me - or the general public by the look of the sales. it was suicide - who the hell came up with that idea...?
