Any ideas on putting Type 3 1600 engine into early 70s combi ute ? Big Job ? No chance ? Look for other options ? Cheers Matt

I dunno, my ol wagon had no heat problems, did a 900km run in upto 42deg heat with a bit of luggage when i had her and had no noticeable heat problems, no run-on or anything.
