Its for the knockhill XR2 racing and I wondered about low mileage unragged engines from other cars as a base point.
I reckon so yes, cos scrutineers would love to spot "incorrect" parts.

I reckon the twin choke 90bhp mk4 cvh carb engine (fitted to the later 1.6 L/GL/Ghia) would be identical to the Mk2 XR2 engine, as in block n head, just swap the inlet/exhaust manifolds over and your done.
