The C16 had no emmision junk and 3 BHP more. Also has a slightly bette rhead design.

Apart form that, they are nearly identical.

Modifying is the same for each. Dbilas, TB's etc.

they are the same yea. once a x16xe cylinder head is ported n bored out, this makes it exactly the same as the c16xe i think. aswel as the eco stuff yea.

If your going to buy an engine and re-build it, i'd get a C16. Just for the one reason it doesn't have all the junk on it.

If your not rebuilding, i'd go X16. You can get some low miler for not much money.

Did they have a better head then? I know the C16 heads are meant to be better than the X16 heads.
