Another one is running!! Those airfilters are a nice fit, I was going to get the larger ones but was scared how close they would end up to the strut tower, misses it by a mile though, nice to see someone using those SU's.

Love your coil lead too.

nah no holes cut, just panel beat the lower corners of the front of the tunnel with a hammer, as the L series is wider, and modify the engine mounts and make a crossmember, then only bit of cutting was 1/2 the gearstick hole but I welded that back in the other side.

it goes really well. :)

got any pics of the mounts and stuff, interesting to see how other people do it

sean i was running those SUs, twin 40s are so much better though

yeah the mounts are and interesting mix of somebody elses work and then I modified 200b engine mounts to get the engine lower and further back so I had room up front and did not have to cut the radiator support.
I used a hyundai Lantra radiator and thermo and a craig davis one on the front in the original hole.

I'lll get some picks later.

wot mounts did ya use iv got 2 l20bs and a hole 200b lol so hopefully i can use the 200b mounts lol wat kind of box and diff ya running

the 1200 crossmember had the mounts trimmed to an angle simular to that of a 200b, then I cut the 200b mounts in 1/2 to finish the job and locate the motor lower and improve the mounting angles.

what have you done in regards to the sump?

it's a bluebird l20b so the sump was perfect

Which side is your alternator on? I guess still the pass side? I've left the alt on that side to simplify things, also gets too close to the battery tray.

Pigdog, those are my old su's, thats what I meant to say.

Interesting you got it to fit without modifying sump, not even beating it a bit? Do the bluey sumps have a bulge to the drivers side? I used a stanza sump on both engines.

alternator is on the drivers side I used a universal hose, I was thinking about connecting the aircon again, or some other pump...

yeah now you mention it I did reshape it a little just so it would clear the crossmember, maybe 1/2cm with a hammer...

need to see this in person to compare engine fitment, my alternator no longer fitted on the drivers side as it was sitting so low, and had to modify the whole back of the sump bulge to clear the crossmember and also re construct the back to clear the drag link

Yeah when ever we all meet up again your welcome to crawl all over it, it was in many pieces when the drag day happend so I could not make it. or if you are in the nth of Melbourne pop in and have a look.

cheers

yeah i didnt have the funds to get to the drag day anyway, surely there will be a cruise sometime in the nearish future
hopefully shortly after i have built a healthy L series
