OP, when you say another RWD vehicle, such as??

I think my curiosity might be if you could use the 606 block and head, with an otherwise 603 setup (turbo, IP, etc.), and get the best of all worlds. Then update the perceived weak points on the 722.3 AT (wonder if some later parts cross over), and have a great design.

Notionally the turbo 606 components are marginally stouter, to account for higher power.... But it seems like some parts may be the same. I know the oil pans are... But all speculative beyond that - Im sure others know...
