That anglia looks awesome i love it

what made him choose an m42?? Not knocking it just seems odd, but then again that could just be the reason lol

Ps the CS looks nice

1982 316 - m20b25 shitty on the outside shiney on the inside

He said he spent a lot on a pinto engine he put in 100e and never got near the standard power of the m42 engine.
It is a masterpiece of workmanship he did it all.

Thats as good of a reason as any, Duracel79 on this forum went for the s54 swap in his car because of the same reason, as by the time he'd spent the amount of cash needed to get an m20 to 270ishbhp the s54 was cheaper more reliable and much more powerful

sensible choice i think the m42 is a great engine, id love to see the 100e in the metal
