Maybe the later ones but I'd need to check to see what diffs the amazons have. The experience amazon guys on here will know. I have a P1800E.

No looks like it doesn't:

Dana 30 with 27 spline axle - Disc brakes version has 27 spline. *'HEX head bolt' bolt head protrudes from carrier / housing.
An LSD 2 was an option for the following models: 1800E/ES 1970-73. the 140 from 1967-end 1974, and the 240 series to around 1980.

Yes, still have a complete P1800E axle with disc brakes. I sold one for £75 so will do the same if you are interested.

I have some engine parts that I bought from KG Trimning in Sweden up for sale as I won’t be using in the Amazon engine as it is only a mild upgrade.

* The price in the bracket is the cost price from KG Trimning

Head gasket to match B21 pistons - £50 (£65.50)
Type 3 Exhaust manifold – £200 (£240)
4 x Pistons 92mm 24mm pin (B21) - £250 (£318)
4 x Con rods for 6 bolt crank but modified to fit 24mm pin: £115 (£140)
KG6 cam: £170 (£200)
4 x 46mm intake valves: £40 (£52)
4 x 38.5mm exhaust valves: £40 (£56)

Sten Parner worked head with 46 X 38 mm valves + double springs: £900 (£1200)

I’ll sell the parts separately if required at the above prices or open to a reasonable offer for the lot as a bundle. If looking to do a hot B20 this is a very good discount on parts.

Hi Dave,

Sorry the LSD has gone. If you are chasing one best to get one from the US as will work out much cheaper than the UK.

Yeah the parts are top notch and considering the price for just standard engine parts if someone fancies a bit more toe then should be a good option.

Cheers,

Mitch

wouldn't it make sense to use the manifold, prepared head and KG6 cam for the B20 overhaul yr doing right now for the combi?
Or would this set not work proper with normal fueling?

This KG6 cam will make the engine feel comfortable only at higher revs or does it give a nice torque when idling??

The KG6 is too aggressive for the E head without bigger valves and headwork. The Type 3 manifold will push the power curve up so a more restrictive exhaust manifold will be better I think. I have a b20e exhaust manifold on one of my engines which I will use with a Simonz exhaust. I went and talked over the resto work with the guy locally this morning who does some very nice work and he is going to have a look at the car this week and start the resto in a couple of weeks, so I will do a bit more work on the head while the resto work is ongoing but nothing extreme. I have resist the urge to go overboard on this engine.
