Yes updates Please.  :)

Is there room to retain the 2.0l viscous fan?  3.5" sounds a little close.

OK, after about a month I have come to the conclusion that there is no way I will be able to pull the pic's off of the corrupted hard drive, which is what has been delaying the finish of the write-up. I apologize for this delay and assure everyone that the write-up will be finished as soon as possible.......just without as many detailed pic's.

Hello,

I am considering the same swap to a 2.0 litre engine, however, I have a 97 Siddekick Sport with a 1.8 litre engine. From what I understand the swap is more straightforward in the sence that the engives are very similar. Can anyone confirm this or have any experience with this?

Thanks!

Acutally the bore is the same but the stoke is different.
