ok what do you think about it.
take the prelude intake manifold the one that has two carbs, or even better '83 with 3 carbs. and slap some mikuni carbs on it.
something like that http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1874977926
i know it will need a lot of work, but i think it i doable.
i want to hear your opinions.

go for it.
I'm not sure how easy it will be to get parts over the weber.

the 1.8l intake manifold will not fit on the 2.0l

Kinda small don't ya think? Get 4 of those bastards, that would be cool if you could find an intake manifold for 'em.

what a minute? why wouldn't 1.8L intake fit on 2.0L engine?
2.0 is basicaly 1.8 bored out, right?
i think it should fit. the engine is ET2 or A18A1.
i think it should fit.

The blocks are basicaly the same thing, but the heads arn't. ET heads have round intake ports, a20 ports are oval. I'm not sure if you can swap the ET head onto an a20 motor, but I doublt its worth it anyway.

I know a guy that swapped a 2.0L head on a 1.8.... it was a mistake from the guy at the junkyard in the first place.... the guy took the head to be modded before even checking if it was the right one.... after investing so much in the head, he didn't want to lose it.... he then fited the head on the 1,8L block he had... it was some tough work and it didn't work well, he had cooling problems that needed to be solved.
