WA:83 lux on 35s with rooted engine

Post by suzi_on_46s »

looking at swapping this for my daily driver.

its an 83 petrol on 35s with permits for tyres and lift

the owner says the engine has a very loud knock when started.
hence i would drop another engine straight in.

which motor is it the 18r?

and does anyone in perth have one laying round in good nic

The 18r is a 2 Ltr petrol. Don't expect much performance from it. Especially with 35's. I had one in my last lux that had head work, bigger cam and extractors and even with cheese cutters on, it didn't do 100kph unless it was a dead flat road. Should be able to find one pretty cheap though.
