ABF's  go in pritty quickly and they arn't that expensive

no way is a 2.0 8v in std trim going to make 150 bhp on carb without fetteling to the cyl head.

priceing work on old cars is generaly not done as you don't know what you'll find so if doing the job properly it's not possible if your just going to ignore potential dragons it is but thats wrong.


ABF on abf managment will be cheepest and offer most poke for your pounds,   that will present 150+ bhp as it is out the box no fuss no bother  all day long and give you 40+ mpg

did he give you a good price for doing it?

Yeah I think so, he said he can do it for under £1500 and that's to supply everything so I just drive in drive out

Yeah this is def the route I will be going, 40mpg+ that's well good as I do 50miles a day. What sort of bhp would I get if I tweaked the abf? Cams/gas flow/air filter exhaust. Just thinking for future tweaks.
