farkme.. thats heavy.. reminds me of my ol 3b I had to send to dunoz.. from memory it was around 290kg on a pallet with all accessories. reckon I saved a 100 kg give or take a bit with my lex conversion..
Following ya thread as you have a lot a detail..

Of course thats nothing in terms of diesel engines ...

It does give you a certain respect for your vehicle especially considering the amount of times my poor old girl has come to a suddent stop thanks to a tree or bank ... the engine still wants to keep moving even if the body isnt!

And the weight works against me





4 stitches

I have a trolley that my old man got from work a month ago that needs a few modifications and the engine will sit in there a lot better.

Always the case, think of a newer safer idea then casually forget about it then murphys law strikes and hurts your knee

Anyway heres a poser pic



I threw out the old headbolts and washers not know that the new set didnt come with washers!!!!

So in the meantime been doing some port matching since it's cheap and even if its only a small benefit, theres no harm in doing it

Ummmmmmm Ouch!!!

Did you break anything on the block??

[Andrew1706]

^^ only broke the vaccum controlled throttle adjustment thingy for the A/C I think, biffed it.

New stand:



Head bolted down, just gotta get new tensioner and spring as this one is too loose for my liking



Then do turbo, clutch, injectors $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
