Yeah same +2 for @MightyJoe You'll likely need to go through and replace suspension bushes/ball joints and new brake shoes etc.

Who are you going to use. That's probably something Jon palmer would be a good bet for. He comes up to chch once a month or so We use him for all the scratch builds at work

Probably needs a clean. Don't think it got one after the melee lol

Locking front or rear?

@Not-a-number is that just for your car? Or are you reproducing blocks for sale? Can't be many people around making blocks from scratch

Dw about it

Dear Mr @sheepers Hard to see in pic but I've had an issue around the oil feed on a 5m before. Looks like it the water jacket could be a bit suspicious where the front oil feed for the head is

Are fg falcons knows for having trans problems?

Just choose a color in the system you were going to use and transfer to automotive paint

The way we do wood in body's in seal it with West system expoy thinned down with acetone to soak into the wood . Then just treat it like fibreglass . Which is Essentially what it becomes once the resin sets. The just key that and fill and prime like any other job .

You'd just use the primer system for whatever brand you use. We are a glasurit shop . Either them Or Spies Hecker or any quality 2k product would be fine. It's all suitable for being outside on a car. And cars get wet.

The other option is to use a good quality 2k automotive paint. The paint rep at work has a hydroplane and that's all he uses. Same logic as comment above

This too. Or there must be another 5m head in the north island somewhere Or I'm sure one down here could make its way north Get a gasket set off rockauto etc Be a hard yard to find all the 7m stuff quickly

If you happen to want to sell the 5m short block at a later date.. pm me

Because it's not 1915
