best upgrade is 1.6 8v   or 16.16v if you have a good electician.The 1.3 of a friend runs with 6.5 and 3.9 r/p  , perfect for the crawling but has no momentum on snow and mud

Agree with JOHNVTI, and this is not meant to be a knock on ZOR, because in general a super-dooper hopped up 1.3 with all the bells and whistles puts out about as much power as a stock 1.6. I'd suggest going for the 1.6 even in a used donor car form, get that in place, and then hop it up if you still need more.

Wasn’t really looking to do a 1.6 swap.  Was wanting to do it all in one weekend. Remove and replace.  I’m wondering who builds the best engines for my $$$$.  Most seem to be close to the same cost but reliability means a lot.

Additional voltage increases engine performance and decreases misfires.

By the way, I am also looking for a swap. I am doing this swap for the next Friday and I will get a better quality engine from the previous one. I will tell to you also when I will swap it.
