Pinto vs Essex?

[brettp]

ive had 2.0 3.0 and 2.8 s and a v8 if you can do a v8 conversion that is the best route 2.0 is ok but you have to thrash the balls of it to go any where 3.0 and 2.8 s drive nicer but are not much faster and in my experince dont take as much abuse v8s loads of proper power cheap on bits but not a five minute job 24v cossies although heavy are good reliable engines and if i couldnt have a v8 thats what i would go for
