NO.all at rear of block, where gearbox bolts on.

Got confused looking at different diagrams in tech wiki. My apologies.

So are there 6 or 7 in total with the one on the head? Tech Wiki says there are 7 which has thrown me.

6 total; wiki is wrong,it show 3 x 50mm.theres only 1 50mm in engine

Cheers mate, thanks!

Hey guys,

The ute has collected a lot of dust since my last post. Planning on getting things moving again early next year.

I have just picked up a NOS Toyota T50 3T 5 Speed Gearbox. Pretty happy.

I'm now entertaining the idea of using forged rods and pistons since they are getting pretty cheap now.

The forged rods are $300 and come with ARP2000 bolts which saves me $60 having to buy the bolts to fit the standard rods plus the machining costs to get them modified so I may as well. Only thing is they suggest a 76mm bore. I was only planning to go out to 74mm. Not sure which way I will go yet.

JE make fully custom forged pistons for around the $600 mark. Not sure what specs I would build them to. Possibly just get them done identical to oversize OEM flat tops?

Block, crank, rods & pistons dropped down to Flowcraft Engines today. Due to be completed next week. Getting a good move on with the egine build now. Pics soon to follow.

Picked up some goodies today! Thank you to the guys at Precision International.

Got to play Datsuns on the Weekend and got a few things painted up! Still waiting for my engine to come back from Flowcraft who are dragging their feet a bit.










S13 Siliva Calipiers. Will drop them off at the Brake joint tomorrow to have new pistons and seals put through.

Hey mate if u have the parts for the calipers I'm sure u could rebuild them urself pretty easily, if u have a compressor a couple rags, seal pick and some brake fluid u could save urself a few bucks...

Cheers for the tip man. Unfortunately I don't have a compressor or a seal pick etc. Cost to get the done pro is not really that much. $60 odd bucks.
