    Ha ha ha...Opel.....that was about 4 or 5 cars ago....

     

    Right now I have a 72 Suburban with a 461 BBC and 700R4 and also....wait for it.......

     

    a 1973 Mercury (Ford) Capri with a 2.0L DOHC fuel injected Kia Sportage engine and 5 speed (actually a rebadged Mazda FE3 engine).  I was running the Kia ECU but recently changed to aftermarket so that I could eventually put a turbo on it.....

     

    Here are some pictures.

    R230 Axle assembly: a pictoral review

    in Drivetrain

    Posted

    EvilC, thanks for covering for me.....

    As for the front mount, I made one that bolted to the holes in the tunnel that originally held the old safety strap for the R180. So basically 2 plates that bolt to the tunnel, then a cradle of tubing that bolts to the differential front ears.....simple really. I can find some photos if you need.....

    Toyota v12 Limo engine

    in Other Engines

    Posted

    The video says 5996cc, and Wikipedia says 4996cc, I wonder which one is correct. Can anyone verify this, or are there 2 different toyota V12's?

     

    If you look at the Japanese text within the video (which I cannot read), there is one time where there is a numeric 5 and a cursive L, so I assume that means its 5 liter?
