haha awesome, and i dont even live in chch shouldve let you take the wager first ae lubs you all

not between the bridge and round about though.. its before you get to the vtnz..by the wild west mini golf pretty much...well about 200mm down from it.. ooooh burn

the blue tyre place...who ever the fuk they are

the very same haha thought so... it got slightly damaged when it was parked in the carpark at my wedding.. someone backed into it...not naming names, but i think it was the front right guard that got a little "bruised"...and the lights....whoops

is this the ex lonslo or slonlo or whatever??

hey mate if you get totally stuck butlers hire have some ae.. or try topmaq tools (spelling?),usually about $25 a set for some cheap 2500kg ratchet tie downs..

turn left at bridgestone ae?then hes tucked in the corner basically straight ahead when you turn into that rd...

royce clive engineering mate... i thinks thats right.. anyway hes not badly priced for his work, ive never had hubs done there though but he has done a fair bit of shit done for my old fc3s drifter pig bear... if you do go there ask if he can make me some stockcar rims

well done Manda...top job... so amazing hows mint its come up....congrats

you still got the crusty 245 lying round?? looks mean bro...

oh,and if you want to go for a 13b with the rx3 crossmember youll need to slot the crossmember engine mount holes forward by 10mm and the same with the engine bracket as the 13b is about 20mm longer than the 12a... peace

ok, so you want to get your hands on a rx3 engine crossmember set pretty sure the 323 gearbox crossmember works with a s1 rx7 box s1 rx7 extractors fits in 323 driveshaft will work with the rx7 box so will the speedo cable youll need to fit a s1 clutch master cos i dont think the 323 was hyd from memory i think it may be the rx3 radiator and oil cooler fits sweet,rx7 may also work. these are a piece of piss to convert,thats why there are so many around..

yeah, but the sound would be insane wide open 9000rpm easily get away with a 4.8 diff and use the revs to get the drive...

found the rough running issue on the hemi too, had a dodgey plug lead, and the smoke was actually brake fluid or oil spilled on the manifold... still, i will be looking for a 3.8 for when i build my new car..... have even thought of a explorer 4l v6, but i dont know what flywheel will bolt to them seeing as theyr mainly autos... i know of a nissan 3500 v6 in a stocky too, think it used a maxima v6 manifold and carby on terrano motor.... does anyone know the cubic capacity of a 20b? seeing as stockys are allowed porting and polishing...porting as in PP ???

yeah, id want the lot if i was to go that way...pm if you wanna offload it sometime..

if you ever decide to sell the whole engine let me know.. ill look after it

does it have a flywheel on it???

totally agree man.. but even if i could find a 6 bolt engine, the likelihood of it having a flywheel is slim, and even slimmer trying to find one.. i know alot of guys buy a complete running manual commy just so they get all the right bits, then flick the rest including the box... only need engine, flywheel, clutch, engine loom, ex manifolds, coil pack, alt, p/s pump intake manifold gets a top chop for a carb adaptor. loom/ecu needs to be modded for ignition only use and i think most guys swap exhaust manifolds left to right.. however i must say the HEMI sounds 100% manlier than a 3.8 v6..

oooh yes please

well ive got a 245 hemi 6 in it now..but i dont think she sounds too healthy,smoke exits from the rocker breather when you rev it.., and the clutch is giving me the shits, the plate is fine, pressure plate appears ok....just doesnt work the cheap jerky 4l would be ok if it could source one fukn cheap so i can compare it to the hemi.. obviously the jeeps head would come off for a bit of a skim for get some compression into it... but then ill still have to sort out the clutch with the 3.8 id have to fit a new firewall, bellhousing,clutch set up, y pipe (cos twin pipes sounds gay) and get the loom converted...but then it would be semi reliable but easy to replace a broken donk..

hmmmm....may be better off to build a mean straight 6 hemi and get a new firewall and bellhousing made for the hq box.. either way i wanna be able to change the clutch withoput the 3 hour job of pulling the motor out again.. fucking bellhousing is welded to the firewall!! gggrrrrrrrrr.. been having major clutch issues...as in it doesnt work at all.. from what ive heard the jeep cherokee 4l is the same bh pattern as the 245 hemi.... but id still like something thats easy to locate a replacement with like the 3.8 v6...and being a nice short engine it gives be a crap load of room for a good radiator and fan set up

thats the best news yet testament!!! knowing of someone who has used their products and hasnt died yet.. heavier flywheel may actually be ok, as it wont let the engine bog down rapidly from high rpm yeah?

its finding the flywheels thats the issue.. im sure 99% of all commonwhores were autos.. local ones from the likes of HRP are $695 ish... keen to run a late model motor with the water outlet at the front...vt? i think...

only thing that really worries me is the 2 of them bolt to the crank (sandwich effect)... engine revving/vibrations etc would possibly cause the bolts to loosen??

impossible to find a stock manual flywheel, and would have to get a manual crank with it.. pretty sure it was the autos with the 8 bolt cranks... the adaptor appears to bolt to the stock flex plate by the 3 bolts(more the fact that the flex plate bolts to the flywheel i guess just for the use of the ring gear?), then the flywheel must bolt to the crank... i suppose the flex plate shouldnt let go should it....although it is a holden part
