Ah, the famous website!  I've read it with intent many times over the years.

That engine came out of a 2.1L Syncro and yes, it is a Digijet 110hp WBX.
The lines seem to be routed a bit differently than a non-Syncro WBX, and it
looks like with a little shortening of the lines I could match up the main
hoses, if they are the same diameter.  Are they?
