Do i need to load up again - if you come get it tomorrow night you can have it till the weekend - still waiting on those pins lol
SHIT! completely spaced, il have them to you saturday.

wal is coming over this weekend sometime to drill off the battery tray and scold me for scratching his pretty paintwork, so it will be needed after he does that/paints engine bay silver.

maybe in a couple weeks could i rent it?


Yip I don't need after weekend for a while - no rental fees lol

Im not in any huge hurry for it, so you could probably have it for the next 6 weeks or so?

I'm guessing those hoses are heater hoses? looks cool!

yea they are for the heater so stock one can still work!

mods so far i know of are......

cut out a section of the ga16 block to allow for standard A series starter motor

modify crossmember to make it sit lower (still uses standard A series mounts) *might not be nessesary.

one small blanking plate to cover where the gbox and engine do not meet up bolt holes. (only one or two)

the distributor needs to be dealt with with a cam angle sensor but i have to figure this bit out.

then the obvious ecu and efi setup if thats the way u go..........

speaking of......

look what luke has found. Who has paypal?

I like the way you think....

Has a pair of 40mm dellortos delivered to me today, they would look good on that manifold!

Be a lot easier than EFI, and you can alway EFI later on...
