[quote][i]Originally posted by Dave[/i] It wouldn't, I think he was referring to the fact that while an F28 is obviously the better option, it is easier to fit the F20 as that is for fwd. I agree with your point on rebuilding too. I had my XE completely rebuilt while it was out as I bought the donor car with no history (it was very cheap though), as such I had no idea of the condition of the engine and I didn't want to run the risk of something major going wrong down the line. Having said that it did turn out to be very expensive when you add all the parts up, piston rings, head machining, new gasket set, oil pump, water pump, bore glaze busting, full new bearing set, leads, plugs etc etc. Mine ended up a two page list and cost nearly as much as Beardy charges for engine and fitting. With this in mind you can see why people are so keen just to buy one and drop it in. As for the gearbox question I THINK that the F28 is capable of a higher top speed compared to the F20. I would guess however that a 200bhp on an F28 would still do the same as a 200bhp engine on an F20. I have no facts to back this up though. Try MIG for much better advice on these things than I can give. [/quote]
