Possible engine conversion on '80 Bertone 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Rhys on  Thu Feb 27 14:03 CST 2003 [RELATED]

In Canada we simply swap in a B23E engine which has nearly the power of the B27. The front springs need to be changed as well due to the lighter weight of the four cylinder, and the fact that it is back against the firewall where it should be. K-jet to K-jet, even the wiring harness is the same. I've done it a few times.
The B27 is not worth rebuilding, although I have done one of those too. Check the parts prices, especially the cam and rockers, and you'll see why.
