my ute with a15 and 60 series 5 speed tipped the scales at the dump to 890kg, half tank of fuel, me, the boy and some green waste included so about 750kg sounds fair.

im after a r/h door if you still have one? pm sent

bump. someone must have one lying around somewhere

as stated items in resonable condition only prefer pick up in brisbane area but beggers can't be choosers

i'm with you beattie, check the part # on the bolts and torque accordingly

i believe the difference in carries is whats holding u up. i made up one for my 60 series a few years ago and from memory i moved the bearing shoulder forward about 5mm. i seperated my box and engine today so will get a propper measurement for u tomorrow if u like. The diference in lengths is between clutch fork lugs and thrust bearing carrier.

Cheers Simmo.

as subject states. engine has done 230 000 ks had a carbie problem when i pulled it out. mooving house and need it gone. prefer pick up but will help out if you arange transport. located in brisbane, south side.

eidt; head was reconditioned less than 3000 ks ago.

i spoke to an engine reconditioner today at work he recond a 30/70 cam should give good power with out being too lumpy at idle. the SU's came free so this was a very cheep option for twin carbs. i will definatly be going big f#@k off webbers when i build the coupe.
I was planing too get the original cam reground rather than buy a new one. Are there any draw backs in doing this? does it effect the position off cam mounting(height)? as i understand it more lift is obtained by removing material from the opposite side of the lobes thus changing the relationship between bearing journals and lobes. if that makes any sence. thanks for your input.

am currently building an L18 for the stanza and wanted opinions on cam selection. i bought it for parts but is now the daily after i grazed a tree in the ute. I have fully balanced all the internals within 1 gram and have lightened the flywheel to a shade under 8 kilos. hi comp pistons 0.020" over, match ported the head to manifolds, 2 x su's, extractors ,sss 5 speed. you get the idea. a small voice inside my head says go all out .500" lift, lumpy as. but that might be a bit hard to drive in traffic. i was thinking of having the original cam reground to sss specs or could i go a bit bigger than this and still retain decent driveability. what are other L series owners running and what sort of driveability are you geting. any and all opinions would be greatly appreciated. cheers S
