Post by Hey-mish »

if so does it bolt in to the existing mounts?

A 510 crossmember will do the same job, I reckon an L20 is a perfect power combo for a 120y.

I did an A to L swap once, and I was extremely dissapointed at how slow it was. (Probably because it was still slower than my 1200)

i was just wondering if it was possible and by the sounds it is with a mix and match of bits and pieces, if all fails on the 140J (does not meet compliance by something major real major) i could always get the L20B twin 40s and the 5speed in the 120y. its all good to know.
