My dilemma is should I use it, locost mantra free is good! Or shoukd I buy a 1.8 zetec?

A 1700 xflow would be great in a roadster and the sound of throaty a xflow is great, easy to plumb, its pretty much what was used in the original Lotus 7. And its Free!
I had one in my Jester 12 years ago. It had a stage 2 head job, BCF2 cam and I was running GS550 bike carbs on it. It would wheel spin in the first 3 gears so had plenty of power.
