Questions about 3A swap.

[juliemac57 at hotmail.com (Julie Macfarlane)]

I have a 1.8L 16v head on a 3A bottom end. But then I have a full 16v wiring 
harness in the car with KS etc. I don't race as it is my DD.
A lot of the 8V stuff will  not fit IIRC. Forget the pulleys etc as well.
Some of the details can be found at My_rocc. (see the link in my sig)
