61X into W201?

Yes it's bigger, heavier, less powerful and reliable, but has anyone tried? I expect the 61x intake could be fed by a duct from the 201 air box.

It might be a bit high for a W201

Yes it's been done, no its not pretty. Radiator had to be moved forward and oil pan was hacked up. There was also a big welt in the hood for clearance.

The only reason I could think of to do that is because you have a 201 in need of an engine and you already have a 61x laying around.

A tuned 603 or 606 would be way more fun.

A Turbo 602 swap would be better. I'd love to.
