That was a good bargain

But when I see both engines, it looks to me like the EFI of the SOHC is even higher over the hear cover than on the DOHC, wich is on the side, and not too much above the head cover level. What do you guys think? On which engine should I work?
Thank you.

I tried to install a SOHC engine with EFI into the Roadster chassis and found it clashed with the wide scoop Saturn bonnet. I had 60mm interference with the engine/gearbox running along the chassis centreline, and ~20mm if they were angled to move the inlet manifold closer to the bonnet bulge.

If it's any help I can email you some photos to show where the clash occurred - you may be able to think of a better solution than mine which was buying bike carbs! Wish I'd known about the Equinox option back then
