4AGEMAD Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 -Also to put another downer on your 6-speed idea, C160's use a different 'passengers side' box mount as opposed to the C56/52 etc 5 speed gearbox. To make it fit youll have to chop off the two mounting tabs and weld in two nuts in the body for the mount to bolt to. -Imo C56 5 speed is the best for strength, ratios etc -Blacktops sludge purely cause PEOPLE DONT SERVICE THEM!! then do reverse doughies and run big ends as the oil galleries are filled up with crap.. -My last two Blacktops I bought for 350/250 both complete with everything, the second one's crank was lunched from lack of servicing but she'll live again in my kp. -i've done this swap in my Trueno, my advice, buy one with a Blacktop already in it. When I was at high school I was just mad keen so did it (still runs today) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajg193 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I read somewhere a few years back that you can just put some nylon rope down your spark plug holes to fill the cylinders and hold the valves up while you do the stem seals if you are going that route.

japawagons Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Take the head off. Easy and gasket sets are cheap. Doing valve stem seals in place is just painful and unnecessary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
