But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
my old car is currently for sale on Edition38 at the mo - http://www.edition38.com/forums/index.php?s=06753161efc9dd835cd94c59ba0b4354&showtopic=346920&st=0Having completed the project and sold it on earlier this year, I would not recommend the conversion to anyone as it is a nightmare. The car is properly fast (200bhp+/300lbs+ in a light chassis) but there is very little sensation of speed. Given the option, I wish I'd kept the car as a 175bhp/150lbs 2.0 16v and kept the £10k in my pocket or at fitted bodies and properly tuned it.
Would be a lot of hassel but I bet you can get some great mileage out of it!

It took so long to complete that, by the time it was finished, I'd moved on and wanted something different.
