I have one of those motors... And yes it does work. AS LONG as you keep
the temps down. and you have a nice guy named Cheapass Ron polish your

change to a knock type ingnition. -- trying to decide. I also try not to
drive the shit out of it. The slipping 190mm clutch, a bad 4th gear
syncro, and 150kmi OEM CV's help.. cause well im not find of sitting on
the side of the road with un repairable items.
