interesting build at Renner

[raveracer77 at yahoo.ca (raveracer77)]

    Well the Engine is the 16V block, but the head is the 20V head, so it's officially a 20V motor now with the 16V intake runners.  I just can't tell how they cut and sealed the intake, and welded the runners on, or why.  In my case I'm going to stay with the 1.8 16V motor so I won't bother changing the engraving, even if I go to a 2.0 ABA block, I'll still use the 16V head.

  I believe they mounted the 20V modified intake on the 16V engine.  It looks like they have a modified valve cover as well but the engine is a 16V.  Unless of course I am missing something????

    If you're going 20v as well, please make sure you do something to modify the
    embossment to represent that actual number valves. Looks kinda chessy having a 
    16v emblem on a 20v car...
