locost_bryan Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 That'll be the carpets, the padded door mappings, and that cast iron twin carb manifold. Fyi, Lynx Australia still list an alloy twin carb manifold for the E-series engine. https://www.lynxauto.com.au/nomad-1500-1750-ohc-2-x-su-1-3-4.html Their single and twin Weber sidedraught manifolds are listed but out of stock.

I got a bit excited when you said Turbos as I have a set but just checked and yours is 4 stud.. I have a set of 13” 5 stud from a Torana, bugger...

kws Posted February 15, 2021 Author Share Posted February 15, 2021 @locost_bryan What oil filter do you have for your engine? Ryco says for the 1750 its a Z23 but the filter on there is short and fat (and old enough I cant see any markings on it). Looks much more like the Z83B thats listed for the "1.7". I sat in the car and made brum brum noises today. The internet is right, the LH side of the streering wheel is closer to the driver than the RH side lol. I dont remember the MK2 having that feature.

locost_bryan Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Is the oil filter on the sump or the block? Up to mid/late 1973, the oil filter was a Z83B located on the sump, then they changed it to a Z23 located on the block to be consistent with the Six. I got caught out by that, as my Coupe came with a later single carb engine installed, with a different filter to the original twin carb engine (that also came with it). Pay to check if someone's done that engine swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pay to check if someone's done that engine swap. Ah gotcha. Its located way down the bottom, likely on the sump. Guess its a Z83B then. Didn't think a Z23 would fit, would stick way out into the chassis rail. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locost_bryan Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 FYI Ryco have the filter dimensions on their website. Marina isn't listed, but Z83B is listed under Austin Nomad and Kimberley, and Z23 is listed under Leyland P76 https://www.ryco.co.nz/catalogue/part/index/part/Z83b https://www.ryco.co.nz/catalogue/part/index/part/Z23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNAMUCK Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Also i feel you've made an incredibly poor choice in which car to buy. But I do thoroughly enjoy your build threads. (I guess it's more about the journey than the destination) I'll be snacking popcorn quietly somewhere at the back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrike Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I get the appeal to go with a period correct engine and twin carbs. But personally a hotted up (high comp etc) frakenbuild of an original motor setup with an EFI conversion and DBW ITBs would be pretty cool especially on E85 (maybe a supercharger long term?)

Im after the TC for a few more bits than just the engine and carbs (mainly interior parts). Oil filter ordered, hopefully have it running by next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rover did an injected version in the '80s (although the S-series had the ports on the right as it was installed the opposite way round to the Maxi) https://www.aronline.co.uk/cars/rover/rover-213-216/vitesse-story/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
