They are indeed importable now. Much cheaper and more horsepower than the original. They kicked up the horsepower to regain HP lost due to US emissions equipment. Did not take much to increase HP as 80's technology was been significant improved. I don't remember which mag I read this in. I think it was in Autoweek or Excellence Magazine. Does not include the only legally US imported, unmolested 959 owned by collector Otis Chandler.
