Scott,

I really appreciate all your advice. There is not much money for me in the
job. Its more just doing it for a friend. You are right that it is always
risky to do a job that is doomed to fail or at least not produce smiling
owners for years to come. Maybe you are right that I should just do a 1.9n/a
swap for him. I would greatly appreciate if you could outline the cost for
me.
Also, why is a tranny upgrade really needed? Does the 1.9 turn slower than
the 1.6? What about 10% bigger tires instead?
Where do I get a 1.9 engine from..... which cars were they in?

thanks a lot.
Flo
