Title: Bolt Pattern Post by: spider on December 14, 2002, 01:07:25 AM Hi to all :D,
I am wondering if anyone can tell me if the bolt pattern on the back of a grey motor is the same as a red motor, as in 186. ??? Cheer's Spider ;D Title: Re: Bolt Pattern Post by: FC-V8 on December 14, 2002, 01:29:28 AM Hi Spider
They are the same bolt pattern,If my memory serves me correctly I bolting a 186 to the original gearbox years ago to my first FC.

Just don't go giving that big bore 186 too much throttle too quick or you'll have a big mess to clean up :'(
Cheers, Craig. Title: Re: Bolt Pattern Post by: brads59 on December 14, 2002, 09:58:16 AM Hi guys,
Maybe try an all syncro box out of a HQ? Still a three on the tree,but much more user friendly.... Cheers BRAD............ Title: Re: Bolt Pattern Post by: spider on December 14, 2002, 11:17:40 AM ;DThank's everyone,
The reason i asked is i wanted to run a 5 speed toyota box behind the grey motor, and wasn't sure that when i ordered the adaptor kit, if i had to buy a adaptor kit just for a grey but since it is the same as a red motor as in bolt pattern theres no problem :) i will know what to order. Since the grey motor is going to be bombed to the eyeballs and be totally a mongrel to drive on the road [MAGNIFICENT ;D] I wanted a good manual box behind it plus the bonus of a overdrive. Cheers Spider Title: Re: Bolt Pattern Post by: craiga on December 14, 2002, 11:17:51 AM Brad,
Fitment of later model synchro gearbox's need floor and gearbox crossmember mods - and engineers reports. Better result, and able to safely pull chirpies into second ;D just more stuffing around......... Cheers, Craig.

Just a point to remember if you get bellhousing to suit a celica 5 speed to a red motor [which is the same bolt pattern as a grey] it wont have the mounting bolt holes for the rear engine mounts to suit the grey. So I guess I'm saying you'll have to get a bellhousing to suit a grey. Regards FE STD WAGON Title: Re: Bolt Pattern Post by: spider on December 14, 2002, 10:15:32 PM Thanks FE STD WAGON ;)
Now there is a point i would of forgotten all about. Thank's Mate for reminding me of the different engine mount's. I am working on the missus fe that has a 186 and forget that the engine mounts on my grey are different :) Cheers Spider |
