from what i was told those chinese engines are ok but they are used in the little farm cargo utes you usually buy at a bike shop which is similar to the polaris ute in design thats why it has less power but more compression, i checked them out .

I wonder what the manifold is worth on its own?

I did my own electronic ignition conversion using the dizzy out of one of these engines and a bosch ignition module, works well.

You haven't by chance checked the manifold out against a Suzuki F8B unit have you? Just wondering if they would be directly replaceable or if any mods would need to be carried out to EFI the Suzuki F8B.

i will check that out for you tonight i bought the complete engine wiring loom gearbox and everything! i was going to just turbo it but once i received the engine it is just junk!!!

i guess using the manifold and the efi setup might be the go i will compare the two when i get in later
