I'm keeping the a2, worry not
Mally - Spek did the gears, but I'm 95% sure he also changed the final drive to a 4.4 to make 1st and 2nd longer. Its great fun that box.
So I've got my Group N engine! It was built by 'Mardi Gras Motorsport" who back in the early 90's ran Honda's works rally cars.

The "wild" cams have turned out to be stock B16a, but it has some nice porting, double valve springs all round, a heavy skim, and a baffled sump! (cheer!)
Its reputedly blue printed. The bottom end does look played with - see photo below.
For ref, this is the B16B "porting":- (Just above the valves)
This is my B16A1 port:-
This is a sneaky pic at the crank (behind the windage tray). It looks like its been lightened and/or balanced.
Here is the sump baffle. Looks different tone ones i've seen before. It was probably fitted 20 years ago however...
