You do know that IRONS=SIDE PLATES?

On the 85 and earlier engines, one can use 12A irons with the 13B housings from an S3 or the 74-78 engines. All this does is convert an S3 engine from a 6-port to a 4-port. The 74-78 engines were all 4-ports. My only concern is the 1st gen engines are front mount and I don't believe any of the 1st gen center irons have the bolt holes needed for the 2nd gen motor mounts.
It's quite easy to mount a 2nd gen 13B and later engine in a 1st gen and earlier chassis by simply swaping in the 13B oil pan appropriate for the chassis, along with a 1st gen front cover. However, the reverse is not true due to the lack of holes needed for the passenger side center motor mount. |
