    Later eta parts that can be used in an i build?

    Okay, before I just throw this (mostly dead all day) engine out-

    can the block be used with the i guts (crank, rods, pistons, head) to build an i motor, or is there something
    that's different between the 2 castings that'll 'nad me?

    Thanks,

    A lot of people will use the complete Eta bottom end (crank/pistons/rods) with i everything else. It gives you a 2.7i engine but it's a bit lower in compression than a stock i engine would be.

      The M20B27 & M20B25 blocks are the same.
      The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

          Just for a second I thought you were going to try a sneak a 2.7 stroker into pro3. :D
          See you at the enduro Toby.
