hi Don,
post on the inline four group..
I'll watch for your posts and pics there.

I always find so many things to restore/upgrade/paint/treat for rust/improve
etc etc etc.
that it takes me 5 days to do an engine swap.

I have one of those dual outlet flanges on my 16 valve engine ..
gonna be a little bit of a challenge to make a good header/s to come off
there and still stay tucked up in properly.

it was good to learn the OBD-I ones have the piston oil sqirters and forged
crank.

Scott
