I must agree totally!

I can also add to, that the B20 engine is pretty easy to tune up and above 200 Hp - The B20 engine is still considered the way-best engine to tune.

In this statement "easy" means: Affordable, availability of items needed and so..

Trying to fit another type of engine, B21/B230 or V8 or whatever, only gives you a lot of headaches modifying/crafting and so.. So much more fun to rebuild the original engine instead!

A good friend of mine's PV 544 has reached 246 HP, run by carburators, bored to 2.2 liters and so on..
