Borgweiser Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Had that car here in my workshop for a bit, was a mint little car. Had bad thoughts about rotang or V6 power units ending up inside. Common sense prevailed and I am glad you got hold of it, 1256 would be a big jump in performance, apparently there is a lot of power improvements to be had from the head, small inlet ports etc. Check out the Brabham modifications to this motor for tips/how to's You going to run a booster with the disc setup? Hell yeah with the slammage, how can you possibly devalue these cars anymore?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

77magnum13hundy Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Wow thats a tidy score you got there. Will be an awesome car to roll around in. What 323 hubs work with that one? Must be older RWD ones. Wonder if they work for HB/C's? COs my rotors are pretty shite and would be keen to see if this is a go... Nice one bruv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zep Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 Unfortunately the only people that seem to know anything are "purists" who tell me that slamming it will reduce the value. Pffft, this ain't an investment - its a hobby and soon to be gangster ride. Brad, it's either got 1256 or stay 1057, and I'm sure the latter is even shitter than the prior. I'm not going to do anything that will involve engine mounts, sumps, x-members - mainly because I want to keep this on the cheap. Magnum, my guess is that it's BG discs and calipers as they are 4x100 and Tony was speaking of using Chevette wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDA780 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Acquire '60s gear and get up eg crochet blanket, picnic basket, portable record player. Would look mean on some widened steels and twin SU's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Brad, cheap.Agree. But something like a G161 may near bolt in if it runs a similar setup to a 1256, and seriously, 1256 will end up the more expensive option in the long run.ps you wrote ganster ride speel twice?

zep Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 I would imagine that the engine mounts are the same as the Chevette, but I would be not so sure about the gearbox fitting in the tunnel, and also the location of the gear stick. Plus, that would require a cert (cough) and I doubt anyone would notice the difference with the 1256. It's so terrible that I want to do it.

Raizer Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Nice!! Do anything you can to get rid of that front leaf!! Damn I miss my ratty old HA lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvoBilly Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 13x8s min (make it work) also i hope a old style water temp gauge is in the list of mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zep Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 Haha, yeah. I forgot to add the water gauge. I've actually got a decent working autogauge one at home that isn't older style that I might put in for now. Gonna measure up the radiator before I hit Pick-a-Part this weekend and see if anything modern and awesome will fit. 13x8, would be awesome... the rear doesn't even have 8" of wheel well I don't think!

Beaver Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 shit yeh, this is sweet. im the 1256 bolts in (or close enough) then it would be silly not to. like you said, it cant be any worse than whats in there now. will be so choice with wide steels and slam. chevette wheels will look super sick.
