Stock exhaust can be a bit of a problem with some 5 speed gearbox x-members
if it has to be spaced downwards like a Stanza dogleg, HM21C or Pacemaker
header is a good compromise. Also, some L20B stock air cleaners can hit the
1600 bonnet, I think the later plastic version from a Bluebird or Stanza
will fit and minor adjustment to the stock throttle bar is also sometimes
required. Most other things are just blocking holes, re-routing the dizzy
vac lines etc unless an indirect gear switch is still used (but why would
you). If stock 200B carbie is used you need to wire in a relay to control
the electric choke. Probably a few other minor bits and pieces that I've
forgotten but nothing too major.

Yep, it bolts straight in! All you need to do is change the sump on the
L20B over to the original sump from the L16. As far as the gearbox is
concerned, reverse i.e. turn around the gearbox crossmember (use the 1600
one) and drill four new bolt holes in the floor for the bolts and it should
be fine. The only other thing to do is to cut a new hole in the floor for
the gearstick as it will sit slightly further back!
Hope this helps
