It is a 130 cope, I think the 136 was the FI version of the coupe. The Canadian car came with a 1300cc engine with a 5 port cast iron head, but I switched it to a 8 port aluminum head with a mild road rally cam and a single side draft Webber, imported from the UK.
Oh and last quirky car, actually jeep thing, a 1995 Lada Niva 4x4 with a 1.9 TDI from a VW Golf, what a pain in the ass to convert the fucking thing it's still not running right when it's cold.
...If you don't go off at least once a season you are not trying hard enough...
