That was an ebay "engine in a box" deal but the seller didn't know what it was...

Don't just need a block, need a DFW!

ahh, can't help there I'm afraid..
Why a DFW? the D6C is a better lump!
Or at least the pistons / cams are..

Ahhhh, a hybrid my friend... the only bit where the DFW is more appropriate than the D6C: Lower Compression.

Ahh right, fair enough, I'm guessing for the blower then?
You could just have the pistons decked?

I remember there was a D6E, which was the early ZX 1.9i, with square inlet ports... but this still doesn't help you much!
