wat r the dates i wanna take the esky panel van down but dont know wen the dates r is it this year or nex year mine will b semi finished for new years gona rol around primered and do paint and interior wen get back

i spose if it hit some holden or rotory tossa it wud b ok

yeh not to keen on teh pintos aye i had a couple of them lyin around but sold them . and id rather spend the money on the 1600 instead of the 300 odd for the cert plus fittin it all. i will b puttin a 4agze supercharger on it but jus want to get it runnin a bit quicker to giv some fun over new years . one of my other cars is a fxgt i picked up for $150 . i was considerin takin teh motor out of that and chuckin it in esky but my mate has offered me 1700 for it so ....

my mechanic is also doin the labour for free as he had promised me his panel van with over 4k spent on the pinto in it since i was lik 12 but he had to sell it so he sed hed do this 1 for free.

I'd say 1600GT head (biggest valves)

is the gt head same as sport head?

but iv heard goin up to teh 40/40 can be quite laggy.

so wud u say chuck some 1300 pistons in and wat size exhasut 2in.

and wen wills urs be finished ?

yeh bein a sport motor its already got teh 4-1 extractors and hot cam with the twin down draught

yeh i no aye iv had this panel van for bout a year will get some pics on weekend . its jus been sittin in mechanics workshop waitin its turn lik its a ground up rebuild cuz previous owner banked the rear end so he had all the rust removed from body and all panelbeaten so jus gotta paint

got a 1600 crossflow motor in my mk2 esky panel van will be 5sp . wat mods can b done that r cheap, most effective and doesnt invole forced induction for insurance reasons. im guessin 2in exhaust, and iv heard of ppl puttin the 1300 pistons in to raise the compresion. and buz it will b daily driven dont want side druaghts bcuz petrol prices are insane these days

yeh in my panel van im usin sport runnin gear and it has the smae sized carb as my mates cortina sport

hey doin up a panelvan with the 1600 sport motor . i already hav a sierra gb but are unsure on teh mods needed to fit it . i think i need to shorten teh drive shaft and make the hole in teh tunnel further back . but wat else is needed. im also supercharging it with 1 of tehm 4agze ones is this a good option as i heard they bolt straight on to teh 1600 block cheers
