hey cheers guys not my best behaviour but funny none the less only just remembered my name yesterday, cheers for the hangover reducing ride home in the reverbatron, and cheers for not just shooting me when i was down as then i'd be sufferin a hangover and a gunshot wound

the gemini diff carrier is the same as the commodore however, gemi diffs are 23 spline axles 4 cyl commie 25 spline 6 cyl 27 toyota lsd normally 32, the piazza diffs lsd are hens teeth dont bother single spinner piazza diffs are stronger than the gemi but still snap axles, bonus to the piazza diffs is the torque tube set up otherwise a control arm or for link must be made, mcdonald racing does the control arms ex aus for 550, the triangulated 4 link is 800, have done a few bits an pieces but an 8 3/4 ford lsd is on the cards for me with the four link

all respect to the man and his ol man for puttin togetha an awesome package, hopefully my add ons can extract a bit more goon for the poon

stroked 1600 to 1800, crow cam from oz, bigger valves hardened seats and bigger springs, mild port to 36mm inlet id metal headgasket, racing oil pickup from oz baby gilmers and hopefully twin dellorto downies by tonight if i pull finger, soon to catch full stainless exhaust an extractors, has gemi 5 speed piazza twincam flywheel pressure plate and clutch, soon to be lightened, modest really bring on track day

will have some in car shots to ogle if we're cruisin next saturday twin downies on a stainless manifold (man i love milling machines) and might get the extractors started for a perve just gotta find a panel filter and a whales penis to make up a plenum, money can be exchanged for sanding duties if anyone is interested? put out the call far and wide bring all the ladies down from heaven and turn them into bikini clad mechanics (no offence trd chick but my head fits under your guard) if at all clad! onya boys!

catch u guys up will take me gemi for a lap or two mikuni which window did ya want i ll chuck it at ya for a stubby coz ive seen you throw the shuvit hard onya bro

the 1600 has a slightly smaller clutch an pressure plate but the ring gear is the same size an the splines are the same so grab a g200 flywheel an attack it with a lathe coz theyre a heavy bastard designed for utes, the gemini diff does bolt in but you will have to sort your shocks out my chevette was a wagon so not absolutely sure on the turrets i do know the tops bang off them in the hatch if you get shock lengths wrong, the gearbox mounts on a chevette sit about mid way down a gemi gearbox near where it can be split apart i made a cradle that bolted to the join in the gearbox using longer bolts nordlocks and a dose of locktight which seemed to hold together and then onto the chevette mounts on the body was a bit fiddly but my 75year old pop gave me a hand an said it was easier than doin ahead gasket

firstly the radiator needs to be pushed forward a wee bit so no more latch, the motor sits onto the crossmember but ditch the chevette mounts theyll rip in ten mins or solid mount it to get all the torque down, gearbox fits in the tunnel but must relocate the shifter hole gemini 4 speeds are stronger than the five the gearbox mounts are a lil challenging but doable, as the gemi gearbox is 300 or so mil longer so strung up a mid gearbox mount to the chevette body, driveshaft is a custom item remember the universal has sealed bearings so grease nipples are needed after welding it back up, gemini or piazza diff will work just whatever suits piazza gains discs out back but no biggy piazza brakes are a straight swap apart from the steering tie rod, any questions ask dont forget chevette has remote solenoid for starter so rewire for the gemi unit and i ran the chevette alternator happy trials

nah more efficient no slip like a v belt so ure water pump and alternater are runnin constantly at 100% where as you will get slip at high revs although you wont here it with the v's i plan to run a supercharger at some stage so having them already will be a bonus

gemini freaks in oz have got redline to put out a 100mm wide gilmer drive kit for the g161-g200 gemini motors http://www.tweakit.net i tried getting it through my local supplier no go but direct its 480 bucks excludin gist will post once it graces the engine bay share the love and confuse the v8 boys i say
