    That car has the 2.0L engine. I never cared for the 2.0L, no power. I prefer the 2.3L, at least it has some get-up-and-go.

    No, the SVO had a 2.3L and cast iron head. The engine was identical to a Pinto engine except for low compression forged pistons and fuel injection.

    For simplicity and reliability the 2.0 is a great engine. Much better with a manual transmission. I had a 73 with the 2.0. Great car.
