Hahah, maybe not the win, but generally would prefer one then a SR. If you have seen them stripped, they look like a RB with the cylinders lopped off!! Serious. Cam journals, block webbing all look similar.
Have a mate who rebuilt and clearanced one with mostly stock OEM parts, except for pistons, and makes 180kw@wheels in a FWD Pulsar on 17psi from a tight T25.
I once thought one with a CA20 crank would be the bee's knee's... if possible but i don't think the cranks are that strong. Still, magin CA iron block / head with breathing 2L...
