I have had my XU-1 for quite a few years now and when I originally purchased it she was running a 186 but still with the original head. I searched around for a few years and eventually found a JP block. Finally this year I had the cars front and rear pulled out, new bushes all around, springs, shocks, new sprintmasters and yokis put on.
The engine was rebuilt mating the JP with the original head and reput back into the car. The dash, heater was also all rewired. Will post a few pics shortly.
