ThePog Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 This is of great interest to me, my townace has a wheezy old 2y, so if a 4age is a reasonable swap ( I'm hoping that's where things are heading), then I shall follow with excitement.... @dspec_tt131 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I've been peeping this on insta for a wee while. Such a good wee van, so clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffs_Emporium Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Which townace model do you have? Admittedly it is all theory untill I actually pull the 5k and try fit it but I have seen photos of them fitted. The hardest part at the moment is biting the bullet on the $850 niteparts bellhousing to mate the g52 to the 4age 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Cool work van! Max points for using something older with some character instead of just ticking up a rangluxeradovara 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tortron Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Quote In a minor model change in August 1988, the front and rear of the van/wagon were redesigned, increasing the body length by 75 mm (3.0 in). maybe a swb and lwb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffs_Emporium Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Could be, looks like I can use 4speed crossmember on 5 speed anyhow and shorten one of the driveshafts to suit if I can't track down the correct one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 please report back on how that fuel pump goes. ive got a flueflo elec pump on my twin 40s now, but would happily spend 100 bucks on something i know is suited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfoot Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 There is a gmb electric pump on rock auto that seems to work ok, I had one on my sigma wagon for a while. Alot cheaper than the carter one, I'l see if I can find the part number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAD Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 This thing is mega! Re the Carter fuel pump; I can't speak for use with carbs but I used one on my 4age starlet to bring fuel from main tank to a remote surge tank and it was faultless and pretty quiet (much quieter than Facet-type ones I've used). Keep up the good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kseries.rookie Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 +1 for wanting to know about fuel pump. Putting a 32/36 on a 5k and was wondering what i'll need to do for fuel delivery.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I've been running one of those Carter fuel pumps on my Mercury for a few years now. It's located under the car buy the fuel tank. I don't here it when the car is running, but it is fairly noticeable when its on without the engine going. It's been fine. After getting it new I picked up a spare for $20 at a swap meet to keep in the trunk, but I haven't needed it yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scanner Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 https://www.allports.nz/product-group/48361-malpassi-fuel-filter-regulator-for-carburetor-engines/product Looking at doing 40dcoes on my BMW2002 and getting one of these to be sure of correct fuel pressure just to be sure, however I used to have a starlet running a 5k and a 28/36 Weber and the standard mechanical pump was fine without a regulator, the mechanical pumps run low pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
