I'm with Tommy, get your hands on a a14 or a15, there seem to be a few floating around at the moment as the newer engine conversions go in. should cost you somewhere around the $500 mark depending on the condition, then get a downdraft weber (cant remember the type), extractors, exhaust and the trx's and you should have a fair bit of change for some fluffy dice or whatever else floats ya boat.

What struts are you running? Has anyone else needed spacers for TRX rims?

Mine fit fine.

i got my trx rims for $300 with 2 brand new tires n 2 wrecked ones, i dont know if that helps or not..

If you're going to try & find an A14 or A15 from someone who took it out of a 1200 ute, see if they will sell you the engine crossmember as well, or swap them your original. This will get you a drop in fit & they can cheerfully cut up your one. Later 1200 utes came with the 120Y style block,so adaptor plates are needed to fit an A14/15 to your wagon, unless you can get the correct crossmember. Plans for the adaptors are here on the site, in case you can't find anything.

Hey BigD can u go into some more detail about workin heads and so on. ( u r talkin bout an a12 right!!)
