Are you saying the head is off a 202 or the block is a 202? A 202 has more grunt than a 173, particularly lower down.

You would have to enquire with your local registration authorities to see what you require to put a EFI 202 in. Being a later model motor you may have to comply with the later pollution regs, and while the motor itself will bolt in without too much drama the different manifold setup and associated bits may foul some of the existing engine bay hardware. It should be doable with a little planning and money$$$$

I would be going with the 202 over the 173... More torque i would reckon, better around town... funily enough thats what i will be doing with my LJ... pulling the 173 out and sticking a nice warm 202 in :spoton:

go a 202, you shouldnt have a problem finding a cheap one. we have 2 186's and a 202 at home and they cost a total of about $150 with two 4 speeds!
