besides the obvious multi and centre point, reason i ask is can i reabuild a cpi motor ( just long motor, no access ) and stick my mpi gear on it and back into my car? i think its all exactly the same apart from the manifolds for the different injection setups... am i right?
cheers

Should have 3.9 cast into the front of the head, however if someone has changed the head, it may be a 3.9 head on a 3.2 block. The only way your going to tell then is to measure the stroke.

3.2 stroke 79.3mm
3.9 stroke 99.31mm
