"I wouldnt class a CA swap as easy.   But it has been done into 1000's before. It certianly ticks the boxes for competitive track days, street car and avaliable parts."

"If easy is your plan then A series is the go.   Just depends on your plans for the car. What are you trying to achieve with the engine swap?   Best to have a clear goal in mind and work towards achiving your goal."

"From what i have read,  an L20B is considered too tall for a 1000.   I have never measured any of it myself so am unsure of where the interference is, or how much we are talking about.   Also i believe 2L to be bigger capacity than what you are allowed in..."

"The 120y bushings are listed on the nolathane web page as 35mm outer diameter and 12mm inner diameter.   However, i decided to use the superoo bushings to keep the mounts dark in colour.   The bushings i used have a 1/2 inch inner diammeter, so i ended up..."
