I would look at your 2ltre engine....perhaps consider a rebuild, diffrent cam choice??? You dont need massive carbs if you want pure low down grunt & torque..... Most 2 litre motors are tired having never been appart since they left the factory 25 years ago....... GaV the engine was rebuilt abo...

so would be well worth looking at what gearbox i have as well

Ive heard of a few companies doing adaptors etc

which are the best
