Hi all ! First post so please be gentle...

I've got a 94' HCS engined fester thats on it's last legs, Another engine is the only way forward !

Trouble is, HCS engines are hard to find (no, really !) - but endura's are everywhere...

Is it possible to use the endura as a replacement ? I know the compression ratio is higher (9.5-1 instead of the 8.8-1 HCS), as far as i can see that should make little difference as i can't swap the heads (different shape pistons i believe).

I'm guessing the main sticking points would be the inlet manifold and cfi unit.

Any help would be most grateful !
