GB Engine Swap Under 1600cc
Next year i am looking at racing my GB Galant in A class which is 1600 and under (Non Turbo). I was wondering if there were any engine swaps i could do for a later model 1600 engine that wouldn't be to difficult or need engineering? Or would i be better sticking with the 4g32 and upgrading that? Che...

Re: gday to all!
Finally got to brissy last week. The galant arrives on Thursday then hopefully we will do a bit of an overhaul on the engine in the next few weeks.
Was wondering two things, What do people recommend we should replace ie, Gaskets, Seals, studs etc and what brands/suppliers would you recommend?

Re: 4g32 differences
Thanks for the info guys.
So i'm guessing the only real way i will be able to tell what model the engine is from is by checking what kind of cam it has?
pretty sure there is no pollution gear on it but can't be sure because i'n not that familiar with it.
Cheers Dan
