Jeff,
Did you check out the nice 1600 running in the divn 2 sedan races driven by
Ricki Nott (car 146)? Dark Blue with silver side panels. Looked relatively
stock hight suspension and no body mods. Not a fire breather but he had a
good days fun for little cost.
A trifle cool there as a spectator eh.

not an Aussie one look beneath your oil pressure switch and if JAPAN is cast
in
the block your ok if not you better keep looking Why not try a Z20 same
