Track Car...The Revival!
Just a quick not to confirm I have made a deal with Sam (ZS) to buy his engine and gearbox. Unless Sam posts it, I wont divulge the price as I know I got a great deal that could potentially damage other people sellings price.
Safe to say, I now have the new engine and gearbox, to be delivered some time in the near future! Yay!! Now, here's where I may need some assistance. Ideally I would be looking for somewhere to deliver the engine that would be safe and also be able to have my car there as I plan to change the engine myself with the aid of some eager members. Secondly, I will need an engine hoist to remove and refit the engines. Also, I am not rolling about with loads of tools so I am hoping between us we have the right ones! All in all, I am looking forward to progressing with the work, just another project on my list of things to do!! Hopefully the costs wont get much higher once I have the new engine. What other things will I need when changing the engine? Oil, coolant.... |
All my tools will be made available mate,I would also offer the use of my lock up but unsure whether we would have enough room although the car could be rolled in and out if needed.there is also the issue of getting it down here,as for fluids and the like I would cross that bridge when we come to it as that kind of thing will be the very last thing to do.either way wherever you get to do it I will weigh in with as much labour as I possibly can.

Always appreciated mate. I ultimately need to decide where the location is going to be for the engine swap due to getting the engine delivered. Don't want it delivered here if it ends up having to be transported elsewhere!
I can try to arrange the car to be transported to wherever the location is if needed. |
my new home has loads of room to store the car on a level surface and I could dry store the engine in my shed.
More than welcome mate. ? |

Probably the ideal location for the car and engine since everyone who can assist is nearby.
