e30ftw 396 Report post Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) Dropping in a 12a into it now got a mean deal with some chrome titans. In all seriousness.. I'm just after a standard motor it's only a daily run around was cheap as hell. Comes in handy having a van for dem hoez.

kerrynzl 3 Report post Posted January 19, 2011 Bolt a 2 litre FE series in it [ from a E2000 / econo / Cosmo/ 929 / B2000 / Courier ] the 1800 and the 2000 are the same series engine [ FE ] but the 2 litre has a 25mm taller block for the extra stroke So it's a bolt in! If its only the shortblock that you need, a FWD Telstar can be used [ the RWD heads have 90 degree distributor drive] "Bitch please, I am just as successful at throwing money away in this hobby as the next person!" But don't you worry sunshine, success is only a dollar away......... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
