hr disc brake front end 186 red motor , all l needed was a two speed wiper motor retractable seat belts front and rear no rust and all the other normal roadworthy stuff $500 for the engineer Title: Re: Engines Post by: Gordon on November 08, 2010, 09:07:59 PM Hi what seat belts did you fit and how?
Gordon Title: Re: Engines Post by: ratbox on November 09, 2010, 09:54:46 AM in NSW you can put a 138 red motor or a 149 red motor (if you can find one) without engineers report, BUT you will need an engineers report for the disc brake front so you might aswell do the bit extra work and engineer the engine aswell in theory you would need the report to cover the diff aswell
another thing if you go with a 202 aswell as the usual stuff for the engineers report you will also need dual circuit brakes and a collapsable steering collum from most if not all engineers Title: Re: Engines Post by: EffCee on November 09, 2010, 10:04:08 AM another thing if you go with a 202 aswell as the usual stuff for the engineers report you will also need dual circuit brakes and a collapsable steering collum from most if not all engineers If you go over 200 cubic inch you will need to fit the dual circuit brakes and the collapsible column. Keep it under 200 cubic inch and there's no problem Keith Title: Re: Engines Post by: FCRB26 on November 09, 2010, 11:28:36 AM Also heater demister ..
Title: Re: Engines Post by: Gordon on November 09, 2010, 06:57:46 PM Hi understand everything so far, brakes,seat belts ,engine size,steering column,But the heater demister can you buy an after market one to fit ?
Thanks Gordon Title: Re: Engines Post by: FC427 on November 09, 2010, 08:59:15 PM in NSW you can put a 138 red motor or a 149 red motor (if you can find one) I have a NOS 138 block with pistons still in the wax paper and the GMH crate that if someone was interested in could make me an offer by [PM] .......FC427.....

But any good hot rod shop or american auto parts should be able to get something. |
