Could it be the original poster read the "165e" pages closely and decided it was just too much work? It appears you don't just drop a 960 engine in a 164 without a tremendous amount of sheet metal modification. According to the builder, a 960 engine is impossible to fit between the stock 164 front suspension a-arms, resulting in his use of a 240 series front subframe and struts. The car actually ended up being what amounts to a 245 with 164 front fenders and hood.
