Installing a JH motor is probably THE easiest engine upgrades you can do.
Its a straight forward install. The only thing you will have to change,
and its optional really, is the upper radiator hose. The outlet for the
upper hose is in between the 3-4 cylinders in the JH and on the early
motors, between the 1-2 cylinders. So you either cut your hose a little
shorter OR you buy a upper radiator hose for a JH. 
don't forget to use the 210mm flywheel if you can get it and replace the
clutch ect.

Is it me, or did there suddenly become alot of 81 owners on the list
suddenly!
