I find it really exciting to receive such quick replies. Thank you very much, my friends!

The B23E block will receive the 160 head from the B21F. I polished it (combustion chambers, exhaust and intake ports), did a valve job, gasket-matched
the intake manifold. I use a K cam. I am planning a 11:1 compression ratio.

I expect to have a very "torquey" engine.

Dlot, I have a 4-speed manual transmission. We'll see how the clutch reacts. I am keeping your suggestion (turbo clutch) in mind.

Thanks again...

P.S.: We don't have "emissions testing" in Québec
