Re: [doc] Engine swap

["paul omalley" <paulo242526@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

true you have to be very careful when you start strapping on thinks that 
make nice sounds,
but if its done right it can be reliable .
my mate has a 25 turbo engine that i can get , but i dont like the idea of 
loosing all that
bottom end from the lower cc unit. you would have to rev the nuts out of it 
all day
long .
plus after buying the ss exhaust i want to use it on the new engine. thats 
why im looking
at supercharging.do you no anyone that does a fast road cam for the prv ?
i contacted kent cams, they said they do not do the prv.
best regards paul.
