Yah, as far as fitting the engine into the frame everything was straight forward, except for the front mount. The male bracket on the newgen engine is about a cm (give or take) wider then the ones on pre-gen. To fix that i removed some material on the female bracket. The exhaust was slightly tricky, the pregen an newgen is completly diffrent. I used the pregen pipes/couplers system, just had to enlarge the holes on aluminum piece. Also removed the small studs an exchanged for some longuer ones. I plan on instaling the new-gen pipes once i order some because this system doesnt seal well
.
Electrical connectors were all the same, pregen carb with 1mm shims works quite well (not perfect), coilpacks and wires worked aswell. Prob more im forgetting.
One thing i havent figured out yet is the newgen has a breather hole on the top on the valve cover an makes quite a bit of noise. I put a small cone filte ron it for now.

I'll get a photo.

The coolant lines hooked up easily aswell HOWEVER i had to remove the newgen upper hose connector on the top of the head since it has a 30degree bend compared to pregen thats straight. Thats when i had to unbolt the valve cover and must have shifted the gasket!
