Vtec of 4AGE Conversion

Mon Mar 10 13:38:43 GMT 1997

Paul,

We could go the opposite way, a 4AGE motor with a Honda gearbox.  Rotate
this 180deg and it should have the same effect as the VTEC with a Toyota
gearbox rotated 180deg.  Now if the 4AGE is $500 and the VTEC $1200 how much
are the gear boxes ?

I'll try and check the drawing measurement tomorrow when I can see something.
