yeh I have adapters. Have to repair them though as the previous owner stripped a few threads. Either going to heli-coil them, or drill and press new studs in.
Thanks I want to see how it goes too! Also with an extra light m20 flywheel should r3v pretty sweet!
Anyway, what does r3v think? should i black out my busted chrome bumper and let it be, or get a replacement?.................................................. ...................sigpic

Small update!
Its been slow since i moved house on the weekend. But on the plus side I now have a double garage!! ;D
We tore down my m50b25NV motor and had a look at everything.
All the cylinders looked identical! Taper and oval checks made sure of this!!
then we went on to test fit the piston(s), crank and rods
after all of that we cleaned and masked the block and painted it
All just in time for new parts!!
Thats all for now!!Last edited by Jib05; 12-12-2013, 08:48 PM................................................... ...................sigpic

Another update,
got started on taking the m20 out, went pretty smoothly. Its all ready to come out just waiting on the engine crane. pics!
The coolant looked pretty sweet!
Didn't take very long to get everything up top out and done
This broom is awesome if you have a painted garage floor!
And here's a little DIY on how to make a snack while you procrastinate from doing work.

Thanks! There's is a company in NZ called Kelford cams. I have been in touch with them. They can make cams to schrick specs. So I am thinking about the ol' intake cam on exhaust side with a schrick intake cam................................................... ...................sigpic

Pulled the motor tonight! It went really well. I got this old engine crane from a friend of my dad 2 years ago, and was sitting in my dads yard since!
(Cool thing about it is that it has a built in load leveler)

coming up!

where the new magic go vroom thing will go
that's all for now!.................................................. ...................sigpic
