Not sure about it fitting into the Rocsta but i did a head and timing gear on an NC Paj the other day with one of these engines and he was running a webber and extractors and i also fitted a mild camshaft to it. She didn't go too bad either and the customer said that it went a lot harder with the camshft as well.

Yeah i'm pretty sure the B2600's ran the 2.6 astron motor.

www.cveperformance.com is nearly finished doing a EFI and Turbo intercooled conversion on one of these 2.6's, in a Triton ute.
