You need the light buckets of the 89, by the way, you might want to cut the engine mounts of it aswell, if your using a rover engine, mine are....slightly modified ;)

But then, you've probably thrown it out already :rofl:

Throw in another 1500 and you can have the engine, gearbox, transfer, exhaust etc all minus injection, radiator and fans, could just throw a 4 barrel on and eleccy dizzy and you'd be away

C9 is rebuilt, 351 is rebuilt, all done less than 10,000kay, I'd even go so far as to say 5,ooo, transfer wants reshimming if your picky, but really wants tapered roller bearings, unless you drive like a p00f

Shims are ok, just a never set them up correctly, because I was spitting them, its plenty driveable :D

Not worried mate, its just farking cheap, saves my pulling it out, seperating, dealing with heaps of people.....saves him heaps of fitting and rooting around

Fried the auto in my Jag, so had to fix that, house stuff and work gets in the way, selling stuff aswell, but motor is in and running, just need to make throttle cable/kickdown setup and its moving, then register, between that gotta strip the tray for you, when thats gone i'll start making it a bit more tough :D

Oh and gotta get my fencing finished, only about 400m to go :roll:

Gotta get a turbo on this Isuzu ute sometime too, and go away 24-26th Nov and 1-2nd of Dec
