I hope your taking lots of photos? I'm looking forward to a 'how to shoehorn a dohc into an SJ' sticky, so I can follow your guide when the time comes to get a replacement powerplant

It's not a dohc luke, just a vit 1.6 16v sohc still should be good for 100bhp

Oh I thought it was the swift 1.3 16v - which is dohc isn't it? I did wonder why twiss would be wanting to lose 300cc!
I had an m reg lwb 16v but for a while, I never did much with it

Yeah the 1.3 swift gti lump is dohc, I'm toying with one of those for the LJ, either that or a K10a wagon-r turbo lump if I can find one. 750kg with 100bhp should go well in a straight line
