Well, the zt and zs block castings are the same, so the pg1 box should fit.

It does fit .. Just doesn't look correct. :/

Well done that man ! Has he gone and bought the wrong box then?

Got your pm and I'm at home for a bit this morning. I'll get some pics up.

Jason04r 03-09-13 07:44 AM

Thanks Dan.

I looked at the block which came with the car , looks the same mounting points but ill double check last night as i couldn't see much at night.

Block castings are the same. They use different gearboxes yes, but they also use different mounting holes. You have to remove the dowels from the engine and line them up with the gearbox ones. From the pics it looks like the dowels are clashing.

So as Zred said , the dowels need to be removed and placed correctly. What i've read its not going to be an easy job getting them out without destroying them :/

Differences:

Dowels are level with each other:
