Hmmm! seems a shame indeed with the rims Ben but you can't put up with that kinda crap - you never know when they might just collapse, glad to hear you've moved on seemingly without too much pain!

Love your work Ben. Coming along nicely there. The DOHC route is begging at me. But I think i will buy a BA and save all the hassle they are getting cheaper these days.

Plus of course the brakes issue... This alone is good reason to go for the newer model.

Yeah I did see that, if you noticed my post on page 100, I caught up from page 87 or something. And I did notice he got the manifold. But then I questioned it because of Mont5.0's post.

Cheers

I dont think there is a brake issue, other than there are better brakes on the BA. But putting the BA K frame and the entire front suspension on an e series has been done. So if you want the BA brakes it can be done.

Cheers

Hi Tony,

Long time no chat!

You know the brake issue very well I am sure. The capability to fit territory 320mm discs for next to no cost is definitely a plus. I do love the way my Territory stops. Or even 340mm discs from the performance model spec.

Where are the photos with the new wheels and rubber boots Ben?

I have seen the Tyres on eBay for $65 each so I might get some too if I decide to continue with the project at hand.

im pretty sure one of the guys on boosted just got his lower arm ADR approved for production so you can fit BA brakes without mods to anything else like k-frame no idea on prices yet tho

that would be handy. but atleast if you do the whole Kframe, you get everything. power steering, struts, sway bar. and there is no mods of any kind to fit the sump. No point having ADR approved modded stub axles when you need to either cut your sump or k frame.

See BBQ burners project.

This is a REALLY BIG PROJECT very impressive! but I think a new XR8 would suffice.

To fit BA motor into EA-ED, You drop engine mounts alittle, And get sledge hammer out, And bend the k-frame a little... Brucie Heinrich does all the time, And has had no problems with that

The whole point is though - you can run BA brakes while still keeping your E series motor. It would be a massive effort to replace all those things you listed just for brakes when your keeping the current motor in.
