welshpug 1,657 Posted September 1, 2008 it'll be the XU7J4, 115 bhp as standard, but with good potential if being worked over extensively, as sandy has proven with Dixon's engine build. quite a bit of info already on the forum about it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wardy18 33 1 Cars Posted September 1, 2008 i assume the internal of this block can be fitted into a XU9 block and still have the XU7 16v fitted too?! (just to keep within msa regs) so if i were to get this engine and keep it as project..........?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
