I have a friend who is very knowledgeable on these engines but he doesn't post here any more since he left the US. The general belief is that the GAZ engine is better than the US version. They learned from the problems caused by Ford scrimping on materials and the resultant cracking so the castings were made thicker. Seems plausible to me.
No matter what they did to it, I don't think it would go close to a new Burtz engine.
