1.7L Ljet advice Options

[timothy_nd28]

I just now realized this new engine that I have been piecing back together over the past few weeks isn’t the 1.8L that the PO said it was. The engine code on this engine is EA050723, which if I cross checked correctly is indeed a 1.7L

My issue is, I have been transplanting my old 1975 1.8L Ljet fuel injection parts on this 1.7 block. Can I run Ljet on this 1.7L engine? What obstacles am I up against? Is my 75 1.8L relay board interchangeable with the 1.7L setup?

I already installed this engine. I'm having difficulty getting the numbers off the heads.
At this point in the game, I will turn a blind eye to this 1.7 but rather pretend it's indeed a 1.8L. Everything is screaming 1.7L to me, with the head vents, and with the oil fill neck. However, the fan impellar only has 1 timing mark, and it's a bright red timing mark. Doesn't this indicate 1.8L? Maybe this is a hybrid engine, with the 1.7L case but a 1.8L rotating assembly as someone already posted earlier?




This pic shows the head vent

Oil filler, different set up than my old 1.8L

This is a bad pic, as the camera couldn't pic up the red timing mark.
