Understood that it's your winter car, just trying to give an extra
option that might've been overlooked in case your patch-over-the-hole
doesn't pan out. Still, I'd think that spending a weekend thrashing out
an engine swap would be preferable to exposing one of the air-cooled
beasties (or the RX7) to the winter salt. :-)
All the bracketry mounts I've needed have been there, along with some
"extra" ones that an A1-chassis car doesn't need .. everything for the
A2 should bolt up as well. And honestly, changing heads isn't as big a
job as it is on some engines, I've done them on these cars in an
afternoon with the engine installed.
Fingers crossed for the patch.
