Not a drop in, you have the machine the case and heads for oversize 90.5 P&C's.
The 1641cc kit is a drop-in that's somewhat OK and there is one slightly larger but it is pure china junk.

Rimco is still there, but they have changed hands.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
