Yup, why not, but I don't think it would solve the problem of the block 
height...

Pretty low power and torque figures, I was expecting something better from a 
Motronic powered engine!!!

That 2.6 sounds interesting too, but how to get the crank and pistons at an 
interesting price, and how to be sure it will fit my 2.3 block???
If the prices are what I think, I'm better off buying the tsr-performance 
2.6 bore& build kit, which is 1000 British pounds plus tax...
But that's a lotta money, man!!! I sure can't afford it for a little while!!
Well, tell me what do you think, Per, BTW, do you remember who was the guy 
on the list who had bought a 2.5 crank from Belgium for his 2.5 conversion? 
I'd like to ask him where he has gotten it, becuz I do live in Belgium, but 
never managed who he was with the archives!!!


Thanks for the answer,


Mihnea
