Big block.
Same as an X18XE or X20XEV basically (block wise), but the C18XE had no EGR stuff.

How come they haven't been modded much? Isn't it the "red top's" cousin?

its the x18xe1 thats 115bhp, its a small block engine tho so if ugrading from a x14xe it would be a very easy conversion to do. and few more horses than the x16xe
