Depends mate on what head you use the xr2 was fitted with 2 types of head. A hemi and a lean burn, the hemi head is used on the early mk2 xr2 and the leanburn on the later model. Most efi heads like the erst heads are hemi's you can tell them apart by the shape of the combustion face. The hemi is round whereas the leanburn is in a heart shape

Ok just realised that the head won't have the cut outs in the head to accomodate the injectors

The XR2 won't have the required cut outs either for the injectors so you would need a plate like the ones Jano sells from Oddkid Creations.

XR2i and FRST heads are the same though if that's of any help
