thanks for the options guys,

hoping to do it all over xmas, so whateva people dont have i will chase at wreckers

will be part of my road car rebuild project thread

i have a starter motor, an engine mount not sure which one,i have 3 ca computers, one mines tuned and few othern bits if ure desperate

Any chance you can use the starter from the ca20????
otherwise Id be interested in a billet one for a group
buy or something similar.

RC you going ca18 finally which car?

I might have the std engine mounts around....I'll dig around see what else there is.

I should have a computer (Engine ECU) as well - assuming both the ones I've got work.

murphys law, what can go wrong will go wrong.. essential parts i would go for new or near new/recon..

starter motor, alternator, timing belt, water pump belt.. basically do a major service on it b4 hand or u will loose interest pretty fast when ya car wont start and u have to pull the motor ;)

think i payed like $20 for my starter motor...seems to be doing fine

loom can be done later once everything is in the car, ive got wiring diagrams if you need them

clutches for CAs are also expensive, extreme ones are apparently the way to go as exceedy are still pretty expensive
think for a HD 5 puck they are like $700 ish new for the extreme, got one that was a year old for $300 and it seems to be ok

my bad, the stumpy box does have different shifter lol.. new starter motor from repco is like 250 so its easier to get brand new...

loom, i could possibly get ya a loom if ure desperate, theres a few in WA

yeah the loom is the real show stopper
got to get my hands on one of them

starter motor i was thinking of getting a rebuilt one if neccessary

any tips on buying a clutch for it? i remember they were quite expensive for SR but havent priced a CA one yet

i'll also add that im after a pair of CA exhaust valves, dont really want to pull my rebuilt head apart for them if i can help it

think he means like standard CA18 rubber mounts, R31 like i said are good and plentiful at wreckers

CA18det shifter wont work in a stumpy box...completely different design
can however use A series shifters in them if you redrill the pilot hole. or other later model L series and Z series shifters are the same...didnt check if i had a spare shifter. should have the stock one around for it somewhere

and you shouldnt have the pull the whole engine out to do a starter bailz....not like there is really anything else down there stopping it from getting out when the engines in the bay

rubber engine mounts, you mean like maddat ones? if so go for landrover V8 ones off ebay..

shifter is just standard ca18det shifter for the stumpy box..

starter motor better to buy a new one to be honest, there gettin old now.. saves having to pull whole engine out later...
