MC40 engine/drivetrain

Did the 2004 MC40 edition come with the revised 163hp engine along with the new transmission plus LSD? Or was it the standard pre 2005 setup

Here is some more info for you, Looks like the 163hp and non LSD if I remember right.

This is a good thread for MC40 parts and owner info we have running.

Based on the MC40 info they all came with the 163 , then some dealerships liked to add on the JCW Tuning kit , because it was a limited production car.

Ok thanks.

Still like to know if anyone knows how to spot a 163hp engine physically.
