Bob,

The Tiico is Vanagon specific. Anyway, you can take an 2.0 ABA bubble block
and bolt a 1.8 head to it. Then buy one of
those Techtonic distributor adapters and got yourself a Tiico/Eurospec
engine of sorts. Use the 1.8 induction system. Got
one in my 88 Doka originally cobbled by FastForward. I wonder about the 2.0
head that you mentioned because most 2.0
heads are the crossflow variety, right?
