[OT] 2.0 X-Flow Questions

[jdbubb at verizon.net (Dan Bubb)]

Yep, you can do that. The block will need a blockoff plate for the breather and you'll  need a drive gear and bushing to fit your smaller diameter distributor into the ABA block. And, of course, you'll need a longer downpipe or spacer since the block is taller. There are a couple other small odds and ends, but that's about it. The rest is straight bolt up.

I personally think you can get away without a KS ignition if you don't already have one as long as you're conservative in your ignition timing.
