why would you want a lower powered engine?

I'm guessing his other engines fubar'd and has found a 1.2 8v for cheap?

 

[Tris Harris]

thats a sin to go from 16v to 8v

imagine telling insurance youve done an engine swap

how much more power?

less 20%

He might mean the delightful 1.6 8v sporting engine

or even the 1.4 8v GT Turbo
