ENIGNE REBUILD, not sure if done

[20B_boy]

the ECU changed from 8 to 16-bit in 96.  Not sure when though.  THis would require the engine/ecu/dashloom to be replaced and isn\'t a trivial job IIRC.

I\'d imagine they\'d have just stripped and swapped out the 2 blocks; changing looms, ecu etc would be a pain?

Unless you\'re absolutely sure street/extended (which I guess is what he calls \'race\') port.  Possibly a half-bridge.

Full bridge is not great for a road car unless you\'re seriously hardcore as some of the guys here are.

I\'m a wuss and going for large extended porting on my new engine.
