However you will still be hard pressed to beat the Rover K series engines for lightness.
I can appreciate that its not the most advanced engine out there, but half the "engineering" on new engines is for emissions, which hardly matters to home made sports cars. Also, like I've mentioned before, surely bhp/tonne is the figure that important here and the 4AGZE is well over 50 bhp/tonne better than the K series

Besides, don't you have a Toyota engine in your car
