its not just cams and tb's though.

i dont think someone is going to go to the expense of dry sump and steel crank..£2.5k+ and not have steel rods, pistons(prob slippers) serious head work etc and more than likely rev to 8.5k + soon make 200bhp out of a screaming 1400

If Suzuki can get 250bhp from a 1300cc short-block (in standard form) why is it so hard to believe?

I know it'd be tuned for a 1400 class... regs

but if you bought it, surely you could swap the bottom end over and get 1600cc on the same 'engine' well at least top end.

for any doubters just look at the 2 names involved, Field Motorsport, and Eurorallye (Iain Shirlaw) i reckon it will do as it says on the tin
