Yes imo, your starting with modded 1.6 power, cams and a few other bits will make it perfect for what chris wants. Plus its much cheaper than a XE, and probs more reliable, and still smallblock

Firstly random pics of fitting AW06's 12v







Then some of the X18 on the stand and checking big end bearings











All looks good and strong!
Few things to sort, ether running x18 sump and my 4-1 mani or keeping x18 sump and sourcing std items!

Other problems include making up the loom!

Do it while we fit it, no hassle then. Yours is easier to keep the B header as you dont have the battery in your bay, it might be something that happens for chris but not just yet.

I would like to say I've got a update on the engine, But the sump hasnt turned up yet and not much else I can do at the moment.

Oh yeah, definitely easier with no battery there - not a chance of using that tank if it was still there TBH!
