Beware Inlets (and inlet manifolds) for us spec engine differs from 
british spec engines and are NOT compatible. Been there tried that. 
What I ended up doing is installing a british spec engine with PI 
from vrom to WROOOMM in 3 months and surprisingly little 
hassle.throttle response compared to the triple weberconfig was 
greatly enhanced  =8) but mpg wasn´t :(
cheers Johan Lundberg formerly 2t 4883 now working on two 1600s for 
racing. (is that progress or the opposite?;)
