I need a 1.4 production car engine for a project.

It must be less than 1427cc, single or twin cam, if it's single cam I can have head work done but not twin cam Cams are free. Must be on carbs.

What do you reckon? The K series in the caterham roadsport is good but have no experience of any others.

Sorry, you are allowed to convert an injection to carbs. They can't be more than 32mm if it's a twincam motor but any size if it's single cam. I can also have the head worked on if it's single cam.
