You will need a changeover or "dead motor" to raid the parts off of. Adam. Posted on: 2008/6/23 7:23

I knew the manifolds were different, but I was of the understanding that the blocks heads and cranks etc were all the same. I know that the CA18E/ET had a feeble bottom end though Posted on: 2008/6/23 6:04
