My name is Russell Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Gaz has started an article on how to do this in the tech article section From what iv heard for how much effort it took him it seems almost no point jsut doing a pinthoe and you may aswell go with something like a twin cam.

Gaz Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Two threads for the same question! If you wanted to do it and keep the standard steering box arangement then its a diff story to what I have done. I think user Slipstream (sp) has done it before tho. You have to do, sump mods, make gbox crossmember and driveshaft loop, gbox hole moved, driveshaft shortened, linkages, custom speedo cable, custom extractors, exhaust system, either convert clutch pedal to cable or gbox to hydraulic.. I went to hydraulic. Basically the same stuff you would have to do to fit most other engine in there, id just go with a newer modern DOHC engine if I was you... unless of course your trying to stay period which is what I did.
