It can be done. The engine is up and running and for anyone interested, in testing this combination dropped lap times by more than .6 sec in a 1/4 mile asphalt track in a 84 crx. Enough speed that though he started at the back of the pack, he had passed everyone within 10 laps during the feature. The Victor Reinz head gasket didn't like the extra cylinder pressure and started to seep water into the exhaust so he ended up pulling out before the finish to avoid damaging the engine. Trying a Felpro today to fix that glitch. Should be a winner!
