additionally... your Carina would be rwd... so using either "redtop" manifold may require some modifications as both "redtops" would be fwd.....

Its a smallport ecu and intake. I've had a 4age in my carina for 2-3 years so the intake is already flipped. Everything is smallport (injectors and such) except for the block and head basically

Engine started today with 256/256° cams, but it knocks a bit..

Since bigports don't have a knock sensor I welded a nut to the block in the same positions that the smallport block has the sensor and put it there. I've had this engine in my car before, only difference was it had a regular head gasket. So I assume that the sensor works. Gonna try and adjust the distributor a bit more tomorrow..
