Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hi all
the motor in my F20 (12R) is about to go well even if it doesnt it fawked and gunna cost to much money to maintain in its current state

what im after is if any one knows of any place in nsw that rebuilds 12r's or sells short 12r's or even long 12r's that have been rebuilt

or know of a 12r thats for sale that has been rebuilt not long ago

i really need to do something about my motor before its to late

i was looking at the 18r conversion but to much coin to do and i cant cus im on my P's which doesnt allow me to drive a vehicle that had engine modifiactions or anything that is seen and a performance upgrade

cheers

Chevy V6 should fit in that lil bonnet

And the laws are stoopid, just drive sensibly, dont rev it next to a cop car , and cop the fine if you get cought

(sorry i dont have an mature, workable answer for you though )

hmmm sounds good but i would need to find a dodgy mechanic to do the pink slip

not much chance of that so yer i really need a 12r

i've got 2x f65's with 2.8d and 5 speeds, one goes other needs injecters if your interested.

maybe

any one know if i need a new bell housing the bolt a 5 speed to my engine that currently has a 4 speed

and do i need to weld new mounts to fit the 2.8 deisel

The 4 and 5 speed boxes are essentially the same, the 5th gear on the 5 speed box is really just an overdrive hanging off the end off a standard daihatsu 4 speed box.
You will need the 5 speed drive shafts though, because the 5 speeds output is about 100 mm further back than the 4 speeds.
Search other posts on OL, as this, and the associated gear lever mods have been covered before.


Bell housing to put a 5 speed box onto your 12r motor?
Just use the bell housing off your old 4 speed box, it will bolt right up.

The engine mounts for the 2.8 diesel are bigger than the 12r mounts and are in a different position as it's a much bigger engine, and since you're going to be welding your chassis to fit in a 2.8, maybe that chevy v6 isn't such a bad idea after all?


As it happens I might have a reco 12r down here in Melbourne, one of my mates thought he needed it, but as it turns out I think it's just sitting around unused. Don't know what courier costs to Candida would be though.

ive got a 12 r not sure if im going to use it my buggy if yours lets go i might b able to part with it.

im in sydney so the corier cant be to bad


now i mate just rang me and said a wrecker has a scat there and it has a 3y or 4y (they can be bolted in each others place)

was wondering would the 4y or 3y require new engine mounts welded on like the deisel

cheers
