Hey Gary that’s a big blow out on their part for sure , so was that for engine work and parts or just dyno , I feel for you that you have something and will always have something to remind you , but I have been there not so much with money cost but that feeling your not in love with you car/project at this stage , take your time work on the vl or your dad’s Mg if your really up to the kombi

For engineering yes. If you need any info or even parts let me know. I have some good contacts in USA now also. [/quote]

Thanks Cava

I have the ls1 sump what did you use for the windage tray and what fuel rails did you use (are they connect to factory injectors )

Lose the attitude up or I’ll send you on a holiday

Mine, of course, is not first gen but pretty much, simply put, power makes heat, so if you are going to make a lot of power, you are going to need a better radiator to cope with it. Throw that in with a physically smaller engine bay area and potentially slow cruising, or burnouts etc with no air movement the heat issue compounds. Given all the time and expense you have put into everything else, imo spending a bit extra on a good quality radiator like a PWR or similar is relatively cheap insurance to protect the engine. Just my 2c worth.

I second that , it is what some people do spend on big motor power etc but for get about small things cooling brakes, diff drive shaft axles things that will break or not work  ,,,,2c,,,,

If it’s spring I will be going to a solid isolator. Ill do it when I have the snout off next.

Roger that I just order one 75 bucks from mace engineering , still waiting on motor next week hopefully

Let the fat bitch rip , did I read it right the shell is going to a new owner to be resurrected

Hi Cava have you replaced the isolated for the supercharger if not are you going to , I don’t think the new crate motors were change they still have the spring isolator

Cant remember, are you planning on modifying the K frame, the sump, or seeing it doesn’t need it? In my case I modified the K frame, but if I did it again I would have taken the corners off the back off the sump and had them tig welded up so the K Frame stays original. I know with Cavs he has clearance but every other time I have seen something needs to be modified to give enough room.

Hi Gary I am making my own mounts so will see how it fits , are you running a different baffle and will I need to change the windage tray, hopefully have the motor in two weeks

These have apparently become popular in the vintage car scene, but can’t see it being legal for road use though, I would have thought an engineer is going to balk at signing off a modified steering column? The electrically driven pump one though I have seen a bit but using an Astra pump. At least then you can mount the pump anywhere, like up under the guard.

you have power steering right ??? if so you have room for the headers tight but room

yes will check the legality side first

Hi all I have stumbled on to this Epas electric power assisted steering so attached to column no power steering pump no lines no electric fluid pump modification to column are required, not cheap but not super expensive either starting at $1700 also uses a factory manual rack

what’s your thoughts

They say it’s like riding a bike you never forget , for me it’s been 7 years since I’ve driven a v8

[Judge1 FrazerParticipant new zealand1983 VB LSA MG9 6060 6 speed View build HERE Member since: February 5, 2016 Posts: 775]

A least you know the stressful part is done and it makes power also held together credit to you for building part of it
