cheers
yeh i won't get any money for my engine, i saw a full pintara for sale for $150 so the engine from one must be worthless lol. and i think it's something to be sneezed at, thing is gutless as all hell! but yeh they're mainly crap coz they're just an economy motor for a family sedan, the general consensus seems to be that 5500 is the limit before i throw a rod lol.
how hard is it to make my own inlet manifold? get the two plates made up, one to bolt to engine side, one to bolt the carbies to and then join them with some pipe? i'm no pro welder but i'd be comfortable doing it myself. what's a second hand set of twin sideys worth that'll flow enough for the ca?
extractors i can just go cheapskate on as well, keep an eye out for a second hand pair of something semi decent til it gets done properly.
it also only gets driven say once or twice a month on average? so no probs taking it off the road for a while.
and fenix, don't think i'll need a computer for the carbs?
