Why swap...

Just fix the few WBX problems, as others have, BUT use a few proven T1
additions plus some modifications to the stock parts and to have an engine
that will have the power that you need to accelerate quickly and last longer
than the stock without the problems.

With the modifications the WBX bolts in like stock (because it is...),
increases the reliability and power.

You will spend the same amount or less than the conversion, BUT you will have
a NEW engine rather than a USED motor...without all the swap hassles...

Just MY .05 (inflation) worth.
