I fitted my motor on friday nite bout 11pm i was gona wait till saturday but thought il do it now anyway i change the crossmember and it bolted in it was so easy CA18DET are just made fo 1200s.
My custom alloy radiator gets fitted next week along with my new trans tunnel.

the gearbox hole comes up bout a foot back from its original spot.
so far the conversion is goin smoothly il keep you guys posted and post more pics as i go.
cheers luke

Can you post a pic of the alloy radiator, who made this for you and at what price????

Good to hear things are going smoothly

thats a long way back mate you'd almost have to reach backwards to put it in reverse wouldn't you?

yeah no worys il post a pick of the radiator as soon as its finished mat lisle aka mr enforcer is making the radiator for me looking at about $600 mark.

The gearstick is a bit far back but it was the same as my old ute and it didnt bother me id rather it be further back with the stronger CA18DET box than the weaker stumpy box.
Cheers Luke

Mine sits back as well cause I'm using the CA box as well. It feels a little weird at first but once you have been for a couple laps around the block, it is actually quite good, because you dont have to fight when reaching forward because you are being pushed backward into your seat.
