Just bear in mind that the 16 valve cars had twin fuel pumps. Well, apart from the very early 2.3-16's that had a single pump. But that was soon upgraded along with other things to cope with the extra demand on the fuel system. As others have said, many parts are 16v specific, such as the ignition ECU, metering head and many many other parts. And in true MB form, many parts were updated and upgraded through the years to help performance/reliability. The Getrag dogleg box is seriously strong and massively under stressed in the 16 valve. They can manage many times the BHP given out by the standard cars. The original cars in full race form had 320 BHP bafore being de-tuned by MB for public consumption. So as said, the non cosworth gearbox should be well up to the standard 2.3-16 power. The dogleg getrag was a bit of an overkill in the standard valvers to be honest. But the real question is.... Do I fit a BSG?? ;D
