cheers mark

Zoom has done over 4

hey matty how much roughly did it cost for someone else to do the conversion? did you have a manual tunnel b4 the conversion

its just an every day car
thanx

hey all
am about a month away from getting my coupe painted (tossing up between red an metalic silver with a purple pearl??????) is it a wise move to get someone to modify the trans tunnel b4 i get it painted? i "might" put a ca in down the track/ how much will it cost for a metal fabrication place to enlage it? an where does the modification need to be done? many thanx

BA falcons are quite heavy (1700kg +)

talking of holden engines hows this a 69 model 5.7 putting out 223kw standard (thats 39.1 kw / litre) the new ls2 6.0 litre is making 295 kw(not much improvment for 36 years) witch is 49kw / litre while the good old 1200 has 42.5 kw/ litre an the gx had 50.8 kw/ litre

if i was to convert to a CA18de why not just go turbo? still goin to do tunnel mods an a stack of other stuff

ps can you tell i havent much time for holdens

i am looking a fun an cheap car that smokes v8s an WRXs (aparently achiviable with 120 rwhp???) guess i am looking at around $1500+ (open to comments) feel free to laugh as this is the first performance car i have built

just looking at engine combos for my coupe which has a rebuilt a15 stocker in it.
I really dont want to go down the CA path because of the cost but i want a quick steet car.
Because i really dont no what a 150hp engine in a 1200 feels like i have been looking at quater times but on the street its a bit different cos of the speed limit. So has any one got a comparison between a a15 turbo an a CA18DET on the street like some 0-100 times. many thanx
