Default Differences between ERST Engine and the FRST Engine

Hey guys,

I'm finding it a bit too hard to get a FRST engine, so what kind of differences are there between the FRST engine and the ERST engine?

Are the mounting positions the same?

How hard is it to convert to EFI?

Internally, are there any differences?

Thanks in advanced,

-David

The block has a hole in it for the Crank Position Sensor, The head is slightly different (for the injectors). It is quite possible to convert to EFi.

A mate of mine was breaking a couple of FRST's. Give him a a try on 07795 436360

Much easier IMO to get a N/A 1.6cvh efi and convert that to frst-spec.
