Tassie law is the motor can be later than the car it is going in, but the motor can't be earlier.

Yeah thats what i was getting at. when i said i found a stanza and im going L16.

L16's also came in stanzas dont forget

Oh so like polution gear or something ? Cause L16 came out in 1600 so wouldnt need polution gear would ya ? I found a complete stanza 4 speed today.

I considered L16 as wellbut L18 won cause the L16 i found was younger than the car, a no no for engine swaps in vic.

They are of similar power anyway and torque, L16 with a bit of work should rev higher due to (if my memoery is right) slightly shorter storke.

O.k So Whats the weight difference between L18 And Ca18 ? Not Ca18DET. Who cares I'm going l series L16 Actually. Nice and simple to work on especially roadside repairs and enough power to build on.

I love it thats a classic racing charge! Do or die.

I know its off topic, Just gotta love great car control. Its a wet race with Larry Perkins on the husstle. [Thanks Harry for the link to to Youtube, I have just lost another hour of worktime].

Larry Perkins @ Adelaide raceway

yep - the good old days! big flares, deep dish wheels, modified production car suspension and stuff all aero made for great veiwing - cars sliding around the whole time, strengths and weaknesses in different areas or at different tracks. 4cyl turbos againt V8s and a mix of sixes, and the light M3s which came into their own in the wet... ahhh...

Farmer George finished 2nd in the 1983 Australian Touring Car Championship, so they were a very competitive car even in normal race trim, and a groundbreaking car in Australin motorsport! And they just look awesome! There's a guy with a replica doing track days up here, but its too high, too soft, and not powerful enough...

I reckon the 80's were the high point in the ATCC, there were a great variety of makes and models. Which made for good genuine racing...
