Just something stupid dodgy wire internal break tested ok but once put some big power through it it died. So wish I didn't have to go to Sydney this weekend. I did notice a water leak from behind the water pump though.
Cheers

Hope these are a help no mods to k frame and did nothing to oil pump as there is plenty of clearance.

Cheers

Can I have the exact measurements that the sump needs cutting. Thinking about doing the same thing for another build I am considering undertaking.

Cheers
Brett

Yes you can use either el or ba mounts but you have to use complete units cannot mix and match.Unfortunately dont have exact measurements of sump cut as it was tria
l and err
or . I think i had motor in and out about 4 times. THe second photo where it has the step in the cut is the actual one i used.

Hooked up tacho adapter yesterday working fine sits arounfd the 800rpm mark at idle. Left it running for about 30 minutes to see how things would go. Massive leak at steering rack drained all fluid in about 5 minutes. For some reason oil pressure and temp gauges don't work gauges are fine i thought these were earthed through the block maybe not. May have got a liitle bit keen trimming wires from el ecu.
Then all i have to do is get exhaust made.

Cheers
