I stated that he can keep the eta long block (head,bottomend) and put all i parts on it(intake w/fuel rail and injectors,tb,pulleys,duel exhaust,valve cover,timing cover,all 1.1/1.3Motronic sensors and harness with 173ecu)
and optional parts from an i car would be the i flywheel w/starter, transmission w/updated shifter, radiator w/different hose locations, larger single pump fuel tank w/fuel lines,
and optional performance upgrades would be i double valve springs with i cam( 3 oil holes will need to be drilled for use with the 7 bearing i cam), and a 4.10 out of an ix, a chip to take your eta 7000+++
and the when you find super eta pistons then you can use the i head.
If you use the i head on your flat top eta pistons your compression will be 8.4:1 and will cause a hard start and rough idle but is great for turbo setups.
