best engine to use ???

[mike_hunt]

hi people,
Nice forum you got here. Im new and just at the planning stage of designing my first ever kit car. I have the book and it looks kinda easy ish. Or shoud i say it gives loads of information to make it seem easy so well done to chris, and my girlfriend now hates you as she now knows ill spend all my free time in the garage lol.

Anyways ive got a question.
What is the best engine to use ... I dont want to go above 1.8, but would love a 1.6 to start with. Then upgrade at a later date to a 2.0l.

Any help you can provide will greatly welcome. Thanks in advance
Mike
