Post by shorty.mqute »

hey mate, I bought a dellows kit for my 350 into mq and it was great completely hassel free. With very simple instructions if you can weld you can do the conversion.

As for the gearbox i've got a 350 crate motor making 290hp and 35's done 4000k's so far no probs, taken it off road get up it on the road but no skids or the likes. But i can't guarantee anything.

What did you do for a clutch fork boot? I bought a longy with a chev already fitted using a Dellows kit and when I asked Dellows what clutch fork boot to use they said they didn't use on as it was a good place for the clutch to breathe from :roll:
