mikuni Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 theres just an Opel Vectra there and I would be keen to see if it has a twincam engine in it or just the shitty single cam. Was there last week and im 99% sure it was a shit box single cam... If it was a twin no doubt KK would be up there stealing that shit for the wag Soooo it turns out that 1% bit me on the ass! There just so happens to be two twin cam Vectras up there as of todays check... haha, you probably didn't pay too much attention to their failness, but... Are they this shape with this engine? Or the older shape with this engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My name is Russell Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 And pointless when you already have hi viz overals on I reckon those twin cams look choice! see them in there quite often, are you looking for a spare? or parts?

mikuni Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Trying to find a Vectra A (the bottom one) for parts etc. The top engine is what I have in the Shove and is sweet for a tidy cheap reliable engine but if I so happened to want to build a race car in the future, the bottom engine is the one I want to use. But they are super hard to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Ah i see, im fairly certain iv seen the bottom ones at pickapart a few times will keep an eye out. Will they bolt straight into the setup you have going now or different beasts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 The engines both use essentially the same block. My track car won't be my (or even a) Chevette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegreatestben Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Was there for about an hour I think. I might have been removing the inlet manifold to begin with, which may have made it very easy to remove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
