Almost anything is better than those 193 "swirlies", except maybe for 70s smogger junk.

The 217s IIRC are very similar to 083s. They are not swirl-port, and therefore are MUCH better than the 193s, for a performance application. So yes, they would be a significant improvement.

One of the service replacement motors in the late 80s and early 90s. I believe they were also available over the counter by themselves but I could be wrong about that.
