Fwd: Help ident. an engine / KH vs. MC

[Fuzzzydog]

I believe the manifold air inlet opening is round on the KH vs oval on the
MC.  not a big deal for you, just be sure to use the KH intercooler to
manifold hose.

Ya, the intake manifold shouldn't be a problem. The manifold bolt pattern is
the same. The KH has the MAT sensor in the manifold rather than the
intercooler. I'm pretty sure the oil filter housing will swap too. You need
a 32mm(?) socket to undo the KH housing. Then just use a bolt through the
oil passages of the stud to give you something to grab on to. I'm pretty
sure the bolt for the MC uses the same thread as the stud.

How the hell did you melt the block? I did the same to my pistons. I can see
that, but melting the block... that's pretty good!
