      Well, as the old saying goes, anything is possible, how much do you want to spend?
      The biggest problem is that the XS igntion system is a two coil wasted spark system, with two ignition pulses per engine revolution
      The system in your car is a one revolution of the ignition to two revolutions of the engine.
      After overcoming that hurdle, you can figure out how to machine all the components so that they are timed right, and allow adjustment for tuning.
      On the other hand, it would look pretty cool with those plug wires that light up when they fire all coming out of the left side cover going up to the plugs. You would be a hit with the low rider crowd.
