 am still considering various engine upgrades and swaps for my 84 4000q.  I
 have generally decided against the MC turbo swap.  I saw several at the q
 club event in Portland last weekend, and it is really a nice setup, but
 maybe a little too much money and/or hassle for my tastes.  At the other end
 of the spectrum, I am considering porting and polishing the head, adding a
 cam, installing a larger throttle body, and a free flowing airbox.
 Somewhere in the middle is the 2.5L or the 2.6L option.  Most interesting if
 this option is a fairly straightforward "bolt-in."  I have discussed the
 2.6L engine with Eurosport in Gilroy.  But it is my impression that this
 engine requires quite a different head, and there may be some tricky
 airbox/throttle body mods.  Also, I heard that there may be hood clearance
 problems.  Is any of this true?  Are the 2.5L and 2.6L similar?  Are they
 different only in bore and stroke, or are they different block >>

If you think that an MC conversion is too much money then a 2.6 is way out of 
your price range.
