Hey Dodgeman.
Can I presume that the GX head will then bolt up to the A14 block without mods?
Powder coating? No, it is called POWER coating.
It is almost like powder coating but as they call it "space technology used on the space shuttle for heat reduction"
They use it on exhaust branches, turbo manifolds and turbo housings and you can even do Pistons and the inside of the cylinder head on the valves and combustion chamber. Apparently it helps against heat buildup and of course rust.
Also can prevent pistons from burning holes in them.
With this conversion, I am going to get a new crossmember that is cheap here. It will solve problem of old crossmember with new engine fitting.

The distributor advance curve is more tailored to the cam timing, so a mild 'sports' cam that is close to the original 1200 GX timing will be just perfect.
This is why I am going to use my GX cam aswell. I can always sell the A14 cam and distributor for a few bucks.
