3.0 ersatz Euro

Casey, you are spot on here. However, I have heard that using the intake runners from the '78-'79 USA version (larger ports) will get you to true Euro spec. That, and cam timing and some distributor work.

I am thinking that short of buying an engine out of Europe anyone contemplating this upgrade will need to cobble it together as there are relatively few US delivery Euro motors out there (much less being parted for the FI). On the issue of the fuel distributor, I'm not certain what the ultimate HP loss is by going w/ US version.

I will wait until the PCA decides what the classing will be for the Euro SC and if they don't penalize it to much (move it to "E") then I'll buy the jugs and put it together. The dyno will tell the rest and I'll report back then!

Thanks, Mike
