I need to replace one of my heat exchangers on my 1975 1.8. Will earlier 1.8 or 2.0 heat exchangers fit? Thinking the earlier exhaust would improve performance. Are they compatible, improve performance and is it worth doing?
Thank you for the help! Cheers UPDATED |

Wait OP had an original 76 1.8?
I thought it was well established that the 76 cars were only 2.0L, despite the factory owners manual that lists the 1.8L on its cover. |
