2.33 or 2.35, but its more expensive than a 2.5, or go for a 2.1, it all depends on your budget, then look at a new clutch (decent brakes if you dont already have them) possably a new gear box as the 2.3 or 2.5 will just eat yours... or stick to a 2ltr.

I think it's a case of how deep are your pockets, then decide.

 

As above, decide your budget and then speak to one of the reputable specialists (my recommendation is David at APi) about what you can achieve for your money.

Good luck!

 

Would be worth having a read of the "build 2.33" thread in the Technical Topics Archive too.

 

sry guys had no internet there for a bit i have now bought a 2.5 waiting on rods and pistons coming going to rebuild it so its new i believe now i need a 6speed gear box with dccd as the 2.5 will eat mine as said in the above post i cant seem to find 1 at a decent price a guy ask me 2k for 1 the other day what price do they usually make

 

that's about the norm unfortunately
