It's just occured to me that I've got an old KR sat in my 16V that's slowly rotting in the shed. It'd need megasquirting or similar, but obviously the lump would be free, albeit in need of engine mounts and a downpipe. Has anyone got any idea of the power potential of one of these on proper injection without pissing about porting it etc (140K, was down on power (someone had meddled with the injection system making it do 28mpg quite slowly) but not really using much oil before)? Any ideas on what sort of costs I'd be looking at to do a DIY rebuild on it to get it something like?
OTOH an ABF is more likely to work well out of the box as it were due to not being leggy as hell and abused by 5 owners...
