ijz and other ones have been done. eurocca.net in Australia have quite a few on there. Cheap to modify and acquire in Oz, so most go for these when the oe one dies. A few SBs (nissan??)as well

I won't deny that i would love more power, and i'm trying to think of what cheap mods i can do to squeeze more out of it... But when i drive it never fails to put a big grin on my face! If i where you i would go as big as you can afford/your skills go, more money spent has got to be worth it. Love to try a big V8 in a year or so!
