The wbx was introduced in 1983 in Europe, 1983.5 in the US. It was revised in
1986 so the engines are a bit different. 83-85s are 1.9 only and has a 69 stroke
crank (same as our cars) and the 86-91s are 2.1s (including Syncro 4wd) with the
76 mm stroke crank. So what you want is the 86-91 engine. It would maybe be best
to try to get an engine that has had the famous head leak so you get it cheap.
