[DMCForum] Eagle Premier PRV.

["therealdmcvegas" <dmcvegas@xxxxxxx>]

I still have my eye on a bigger engine swap. But I am curious if 
anyone has any info on swapping out the Eagle Premier motor. The 
reason I ask, is because I REALLY want to get my car back onto the 
road, and my local junkyard has one in stock for $150. '89 (with 
distributior), 32K miles, and all above 160psi on the compression 
test.

I know that I can get it to physicly mount into the car with no 
problems. However, all I'm looking for is a "quick 'n dirty" engine 
swap. For now, I'd like to retain as much of my stock fuel injection 
as possible. But I don't have any good photos/measurements to answer 
my questions:

Will the K-Jet manifold mount to this motor? From the pictures that 
I've seen, it just looks to me that the bungs need to be drilled out 
to mount the fuel injectors.

And I know that the mechanical distributor is fixed, so that the 
ignition cannot be adjusted. But I still don't see why one couldn't 
simply saw out some grooves in the distributor case, to allow it to 
rotate slightly, and adjust the ignition timing. Is something like 
this possible too?
