Hey mate thanx for the reply. The 1800 block is not as tall as the 2L block, so if your sump bowl is at the front then you more than likely will not have to mod the sump. Will show detailed pics o the mounts when I make them.

Good luck with the build rb20.

I am preparing to put a z18et into my 1200 coupe so I am very interested in how you are mounting your engine and gearbox and how you are modifying the sump.

Cheers

You have a PM

I got the l20 and 5 speed in the bay. But before I go welding up the engine mounts I still need to mod the sump to get it sitting a few mills lower. The way it is now there is about 2mm between the bonnet and the rocker cover. I will also need an after market sway bar to clear the oil pump.

Thanx mate. This is what I do for a living so it is prett easy for me. I only use after market panels if I rely have to. I think the original one is fixable so I will stick with it.

good work in getting the front off cleanly ... Looks like a red version of my kermit

I got a new front panel from Old Skool panels in Thomastown Melbourne

It fits everywhere except on the top corner on the passenger side, the sides are not the same on the new panel for some reason

Arr there they are
