No mate I wont be using injenction just old fashioned carbs well no so old fashioned.
Looking into alloy tubes inserted into the inlets welded up and angled to suit 46mm quad carbs from a motorbike (therefore no manifold as bike carbs are clamped on).
The exercise is just to see if lowering the deck height is possible using a 73.7mm crank stroke from the l16 and to clear the bonnet and yes the engine will be angled slightly to clear the quad inlets
and getting a revvy non pollution crossflow multivalve engine that fits in the 1k engine bay like it was made for it with lower centre of gravity.
A bonnet for sale yes please if it sucks air out of the bay
Ive seen an l20b in one in the past and it was way to tall, heavy for handling (for a 1k anyway) and I just like short stroke big bore engines that can and should outdo a 4ag or ca18de with the twin 36mm inlet valves per pot.
The ozdat engine utility lets me lower the deck height to an a14/15 height using the l18 rods with l16 crank and 88mm bores to 1793cc capacity.
Also using 126mm rods I could lower the block height to 200mm and still get 1.71
However using a12 rods Ill get 1.65
and a deck height of 196 not too bad and maybe 5kgs lighter.
145mm rods wont help and sump or crossmember mod is a no go ;( transverse leaf springs sit 3mm from crossmember.
Can an l16 take an 88mm bore can it?
This is a quote from zac510`s ka24e hybrid L20B engine before he went overseas.

The car was running fine before I left, did you know that it made 186kw at wheels with the intercooler?
