couple o questions, and some comments

[Robert Luhrs <rhl@student.umass.edu>]

Ok, the questions first:
Has anyone put a 16valve body kit on an 8 valve? If so, how hard 
was it, how long did it take you, suggestions on how to make it 
easier(assuming you learned from your experience).
How hard is it to change throttle bodies? Going from a stock one to 
a larger one, no specifics please, just in general, is it pretty easy, 
or should one be highly mechanically adept.

Random comments:
So last night iwas driving down the highway with my (i think) stock 
86 8 valve(i say i think casue the person i got it from says it was 
stock, but having driven some other peoples cars that are also 
supposedly stock, mine is a good deal faster than theirs but i don't 
know why) and one of my friends was driving a 96 saturn sc1, and 
another one was driving a 92 eagle talon tsi awd turbo.  The saturn 
had no chance as it dissapeared in the mirror, the talon and i at 
about 90 both floored it and i realized why i love the close ration 
transmition so much, almost instantly i was accelrating off into the 
low 110's as the talon was trying to get to it's power band, what a 
wonderfull feeling using a 13 year old car to beat up on hapless 
others  :)
(ok, so once i hit 123 or so the talon having a bit more on top 
finnaly passed me from sheer higher top speed, but who cares, it 
was soooo worth it.  :)
