Hello everyone. Just wondering which engine will be the best in daily basis. I have now m40b18.
Thanks.

You have it fitted already.

Not bad on fuel unless you want to sit at 90 on the motorway, it's reliable and will keep going with basic servicing. Parts are cheap and abundant.
And you could fit a snail.
To fit a 6 pot you'll be changing the suspension, front clip, gearbox, prop, diff and brakes, welding on new brackets ie. the airbox one, then you may as well replace the bushes (polly front oem rear) wheel bearings whilst its all in bits. New springs and dampers?
Then you'll sit down and work out what you have spent and think bugger I could have bought a very nice Tech2 for that.

Where is the best service, the place, where the humans can fit engine into the engine bay. Around the Bournemouh is the best.
