Engine one:

C20 LET Re-built 20k ago, strengthened internals, cams, good for 300bhp with the addition of Vmax software and red injectors. (not included) Will run around 210bhp.
£1100

Option two:

C20LET FSH 60k, standard. £800 in my hometown

Not sure when it had a rebuild, it was 20K ago. Seen pics of the head off and everything is perfect. I dont really wanna run like 300bhp yet as i need TC and and LSD. Im so poor after i do this i doubt i could spend a penny for months.

But essentially the top engine is faster

i think 1st one is better investment nd with internal work should be very reliable.

Just need to take it out myself

First one, its not that much more expensive and if you're going to tune the second one anyway there's no point in getting it when you could of had the first one
