1.4 8v spi, not a good idea as it weighs bucket loads more than the skoda 135/6 engine. you would be best off tuning a 1.3 mpi engine and saving the money you would spend on another engine conversion

aye, got it running there today, its pretty dead...

Didn't Skoda produce a fast back Estelle sorry a Rapid with a 136 engine and fuel injection which were quiet fast, there used to be around here a pink one with a body kit on it and nice wheels which seemed as it were quiet Rapid. So i should imagine the potential is definately there for tunning the pushrod, If you can get David Vizards book tuning pushrod Fords as the principles would be the same:D

I think some very late Estelle/Rapid 130 series were injection, EMS and possibly cat? They might have made a bit more power, but not that much compared with what's possible if you can source an 8 port head, sidedraft Weber manifold, exhaust bananas and Gp A "slipper" pistons (which may need a contact in the Czeck Republic these days).

the rapid sport was all of 76HP

I'd thought 75, but either way when compared with 68 (std carbie), 100 (GpA engine with Jikov) or 120 (GpA except DCOE40 and bananas)...

Hi my name is Jonathan and I was wondering if I could do something that no one has considered doing before but I wasn't sure if it would work.

i was wondering if I could install a 1.4 16v k series out of a 05 mg zr, would that be possible to do that please let me know thanks for reading

@Jonathan1617 - Yes, in principle. In practice you'll need the MG "cassette car" (cut vertically about halfway down the A pillars and through the floor), plus custom engine, gearbox and radiator mounts, custom hose kit, custom gear linkage, custom exhaust, custom driveshafts, custom front springs and dampers that I can think of off-hand. Then you'll still need to get it all running.

 

Even that presumes that I've not left some vital bits of MG behind.
