Yeah, but that would cost more to certify. Turbo and larger engine than standard and if you use plates then also x-member modification. The A12 turbo would only be one issue. I wouldn't need better brakes would I in my coupe?

I would rather keep the standard x-member and engine even though it is going turbo. A12T has a nice ring to it too.

I am really keen on the turbo A12 after a day's thoughts. Might give that a try...

I am going to get an oil pressure gauge and was contemplating wheter to purchase a mechanical or electrical gauge? I read that ddgonzal has used a mechanical. Can I use an electrical item?

I have a dilemma. I have some options:
1/ Old A12 with extractors and 32/36 setup and a cam

2/ A14 with the same mods

3/ Old A12 Draw Through Turbo and I do have a friend who has built heaps

I want to keep the A12 as I do not want to stray to far from what is original but I suppose all these options are completely reversible. Any thoughts???

Hook, line and sinker. Haha.

Just asked him before and he does. I do have an A14 sitting in my garage too...

Speaking of swapmeets, I found an A12A engine at the last one and did not buy it. Kicking myself now!

Woody, woody, woody.... You just get worse and worse don't you? Is your ute on the road yet? Can you actually drive it legally on the road? Show some manners and be helpful, especially to new members. You are always too quick to jump on the throttle boy....

I have been searching the site and could not find proper confirmation with this question. Whether an A12 with the alternator at the front of the block on the same side as the distributor will fit on a 1200 Coupe crossmember or whether it is the same as the A14 & A15 and needs small mods or a ute crossmember? I am looking at using one of these A12s so I can fit my A14 head etc.
