I can tell you for sure that the upper A-frame bushings are different
on the 164, and a LOT more expensive. My guess is that the difference
in the crossmember amounts more to where it bolts to the frame because
the B30 motormounts are not much different in position from the B20
related to the back of the engine. It sticks forward further though.
I knew of a guy in Panama who bought a 164 with no engine (had been robbed
to power a boat) and put a B20 in it. I believe that with the right tranny,
the engine and tranny bolted right in. LOT of empty space in front of the
engine though.
