I do have the twin Blue one (on the back or the tow truck scroll up) thats also a 76 Alpine TC (only difference is manual) a 72 1500 (brown one in pic) which i drove to where it is now (nothing in the one to the left of it) https://igcdn-photos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/t51.2885-15/e35/13260983_131907050547746_1252244619_n.jpg[/mg] https://www.instagram.com/p/BFu62KLSo2v/?taken-by=akiwijoker with the thought that a 1500 head on a 1600 block ups compression / power? but is that what I want / need with an automatic car? then there's the Chrysler Wagon newest & possibly the best bet in my mind? https://igcdn-photos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/t51.2885-15/e35/12677303_199062507114181_1665698119_n.jpg https://www.instagram.com/p/BBMOupNSox4/?taken-by=akiwijoker was also a runner till parked up on pete's farm & the springs raided for the Rally car / not entirely sure if its a 1600 (no reason to think otherwise) has LPG / CNG fitted, will this have affected it in any way? gave Kiera my original 1600 head off this car Project thread here : http://www.avenger.co.nz/forum/index.php?topic=40.0 https://igcdn-photos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/t51.2885-15/e35/12716489_511512515702223_740307191_n.jpg https://www.instagram.com/p/BB8uUxbSo8X/?taken-by=akiwijoker in return I have her 1300 head (or is her's 1600? cant recall) with a burnt out exhaust valve edit carjam says its CC rating = 1,600cc (still a 1975 / 41 year old head) that's the immediate simplest option with a new set of valves etc aware ideally I would like to find a "S" stamped big valve head but happy to use what I have for now without spending squillions thoughts & input please into the discussion thread Jokers Avenging Hill men Discussion << Link / discuss there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoKer Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 Litterally driving the tits of it & this bit wore out Speedo drive, lucky I still had the OEM gearbag in the shed (the Chrysler Wagon makes a great Shed for parts) had it out in two tics & hopefully fresh WOF this arvo, a few other things like no brake lights & such getting sorted at same time can anyone tell me about this drive? Colour is important apparently & just planning ahead 'for next time' is it specific to BW45's or will I find one in a Manual box too? at worst I guess could always get one 3D printed or what-not eh reply in me discussion there here : //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/28525-jokers-avenging-hill-mans-discussion/page-6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoKer Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 So I had a bit of a ride on a tow truck last week after a big BANG and a loss of drive, fingers and toes were crossed it wasnt Box related turns out suspicions were correct & this thing had dropped its guts with bonus Spider in the pinion ruining the plan to 'just' swap the head moped a bit then got on with the Brown Chrysler rear end, theory being the Wagon has 4.11 & that's quicker off the mark / better saved for the Racecar job done 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
