Interesting. I've been under the impression that there's a lot more go
fast bits available for the 12 valve than the 16 valve. There were
several very nice KA-24(12v) 510's at Shasta last year, and I know Bill
Kenyon's built an SRL using KA-24.
Be interesting to find out the differences. Could be that the top end
(head/intake/exhaust) is different, but the lower end is the same. Of
course, setting up the exhaust and having room for intake plumbing are a
big part of any swap.
FWIW, Ron
