What bellhousing did you use for the R380? Did it need any work on the tunnel?

also do you have pics or a build thread?

Curious how you did your motor mounts. I'm putting a 2.3 20v turbo T5 in my wagon with an M90. Why didn't you use an M90?

cheers

For those who've done White Block swaps, a few questions - how have you done the sump with the standard Amazon/P1800 crossmember? Any need to cut the bulkhead? How much work does the tunnel need for an M90? Any steering column/turbo interference in RHD?

ok, and the red T5 powered coupe as your avatar pic yours? I'd love to see a bigger pic with those wheels!

The white combi has electric power steering. Nice car.

have you any images of your car (s) to share ?? what color is it /they ? what model (s) ? and what do you have planned on a whole ? is it a full blown hotrod style ? your aiming for im asking as you dont have a avatar and i dont see any images atm so hence me asking .....

i see your a v8 nut we have just seen summit fitted thats lighter and gives more power to weight ratio fits like a glove in the engine bay ( pumps out 160 + black stallions standard ) i will post more info on that project when i get info on test driving should be up and runing in next few weeks

regarding my avatar its an avatar i liked it i used it end of simples due to me being a GT nut that owns a red one hence the color choice sitting under my username i liked the look

please read the thread as a whole to answer your questions. I did an update a page or two ago w/ pic.

To keep it short:

Red '67 Combi getting a whiteblock out of an 850 (T5) and an M90 from a 940

Grey '62 Coupe getting a Buick L67 (supercharged) with a Borg Warner 5spd.

What is 'summit fitted' ?


Look forward to hearing what Tom-Madbiker has to tell us about his whiteblock conversion.

cheers
