I was thinking of a rotary for my '73 Coupe, but since I have all the bits to build a nice L20B I thought I might try that instead...
I was looking at the article in the tech section and had a question for anyone who might know...
Quote:
1. Aquire 1980 Stanza crossmember, lower control arms, brakes , L16, 4/5 speed box and stuts as an option.
Engine x-member -
((Section the hoop and moved 3/4" rearwards to allow the engine to sit as low and as rearward as possible.
What exactly is the "hoop"? I have the Stanza bits in my stash but does the Xmember bolt straight in or does it need to be narrowed?
Any help from someone who's done and L swap is appreciated. Also, any major hood clearance issues with the extra height of the L20B over the L16/L18? If I have to cut and paste on the Xmember I could just as easily mod it to get the engine down a bit lower...
