[urq] MC1/2 long block interchangeable with WX?

[urq]

You may want to call John Brasil at Brasil Auto in San Jose ... he might be
able to come up with something local for a WX.  

As others have suggested, a wholesale swap of the MC-1 or 2 has advantages
... that's the way I went.  The difficult thing is setting everything up to
pass the visual smog exam.  You can run an MC with a MAC-02 control system
... but there are a few extra ports on the MC you will have to explain.  

Swapping to an MC is not likely to be more expensive than fixing up the WX.


Good luck!

Yeaaa it's looking like the bottom end on my WX is toast. Someone originally
had messaged stating to swap the long block with a MC1 and call it good but
I wasnt sure if it was interchangeable. Problem with the WX bottom end is
availability, here in CA there isnt much to choose from..
