i'll check in to the police thing ,I'm not getting much joy anywhere else ( stinking government departments)

steve

yep I'm happy to stamp it myself but I need some buearocratic dick to tell me what the number is and when they want it.

and what size numbers and letter to use.

steve

doesnt need to go over the pits ,its a regoed car just an engine change.

I never thought about using the chassis number ,I'll ask the engineer.

I could use the old engines number but then will run into the same problem when it goes into another car

gday trendsetters,

I've recently built a windsor based engine with clevo heads for the xa ,all went well with the build and it runs and drive awsome.

now for the next problem in a long line of problems, I used a dart block for the build and they come without an engine number.

I believe I'm going to need to see an engineer about this ,I've been and spoken to the rta ( service nsw for the kiddies) and it's like banging ya head against a brick wall.

any one had to go through this process

thanks in advance

steve

thanks gregaust I'll have a chat with the builder  

steve

welcome gregaust

car will be used  50/50  street/strip

and the reason for wanting a box with vacuum is my missus will drive this car and I think she'll have trouble understanding that it has to be shifted manually.

I fear the car will be left in d and burn the box out 

cams not massive and I'm unsure of engine vacuum as it's yet to be run

Yep the motors been a slow process

Yep awesome thing can happen with c4s

I'd prefer to have auto shift

I'm not too concerned with me driving it but my Mrs. Will need to drive occasionally and I'm worried she'll stick it in d and burn the box out

I'm hoping gregaust drops in to offer some advice

Beauty is only skin deep

Ugly goes all the way to the bone

gday trendsetters

my new motor is all but finished being built and now the gearbox delima is about to start,

motor is a windsor based dart block with clevo heads hoping for around 700fwhp.

I've been in contact with the  bloke I'm getting to build a box and he suggested a t400.

I'm not against this idea given that they are bullshit strong and the c4 do have limitations

 I currently run a c4 in my xb it makes around the 550fwhp mark and have had no issues and it still shifts as an auto not a full manualised box 

the builder I'm using says this one will need to be full manual ,but a t400 can stay as an auto.

I'm open to suggestions and advice as I am yet to buy a convertor or tailshaft and exhaust can be massaged if necessary

thanks in advance

steve

Yep I'm with rob

Get someone else to do it

good job ya blind old fucker

Tried to put up a pic but it doesn't want to play

Passengers side back of block

ta chaise

the young fellas pretty switched on ,and I reckon if ya kids cant trust their parent they cant trust anyone.

it's only a newish saying but   "ya can't bullshit someone that has google"

so I told him to go and google it but he wasn't having much luck, but looks like the answer is aluminium in the early years then to plastic when technology took over.

thanks for everyones help, now wheres those photos gerg?

steve

Thanks for the input guys

Pics of said kayak are required

We need closure

I was asked by my young bloke what was metal flake paint was.

Before I answer I probly should have a correct answer

I think it's microscopic bits of plastic , I think if it was real metal it would cause rust

Anybody got experience in this field .

Steve

Try injection perfection

They do some pretty trick looking stuff

May be a bit pricey though

Not sure if the link will work

But this is similar to the chi 3v manifold it had the bosses already on it but they needed to be drilled out

It's about the 5th one down the list

Steve

Nothing unusual

I ran points in both xa and xb for years

Only changed cause the xb is now efi and the xa has n2o on it

Yeah even when you do it by the book ya can still get fucked over

But that's cars for ya

Steve

gee 1000ks is a bit of a fizzer.

not sure of many aussie companys maybe camtech http://www.camtechcams.com.au/contacts.html

Ive used Malcoms (camtech)stuff before never had a problem.

as NZXD said there are hydro rollers available for clevo or windsor , we used on in the xb for a while and it was sweet ,

it just wasn't the best for reving past 6000rpm

steve

as others have said get a good quality one and grab a spare belt ,it suck finding out that your local repco or supercheap doesnt' carry them.

don't be tempted to over tighten the belt just for the blower belt sound ,it can fuck you alternator bearings

steve

5 speed lol

no chance of a ten but we plan to regear to 4:11s and may snag a high 11

failing that I may have to go back to an ol crossy lol

steve

sorry for the hijack jamie

The motor was built for towing purposes and to go ofcourse.It runs a heavilly modded 2V performer manifold and 2V closed chamber heads which have had a fair bit of work done to them,also runs a 1inch sucker style spacer and has a demon carby on it,i think its an 800 or something that size.It will be running a custom drop style air cleaner to allow clearance from the bonnet.Also its running a/c and power steering.

Even managed a spacer

Sounds like Jamie shouldn't have any dramas
