For a HR front end conversion (if you can do the work yourself) you could build the setup for about $400.

Sweet. Yeah, I was hoping for less than a $k.

The bottom end is going to cost me the most.

Gday guys.

What would one expect to pay for a bottom to top head rebuild for a 138 grey motor for my EK?

I ask, because this is my first grey rebuild.

For memory my 202 was around $380. New valves, the lot.

Thanks very much guys.

That info is really handy. Shame she isn't the original colour scheme on the outside, but I love her none.the less.

I also think I was mistaken with its origin. Doesn't the 'A' mean adelaide?

Sure thing.

I checked it all when I bought her. For memory, I think it wad originally assembled in Vic?

Pretty sure it was also numbers matching.

I'll post some more pics of her as I go along. I've also got my EH Ute.

Hey guys,

I found an alternator bracket on eBay that I'm thinking about using on the EK.

Question is, do I need to change out the starter motor as well?

Didn't know that there was a 12 volt option. I thought that if I wired it through the original regulator, the 6 volt starter.might still work ...

Gday guys,

I'm going to do away with the points on the EK.
I've got a HEI coil, just have to buy the dizzy itself.
For memory, that's all I need yeah?
It's still running the standard generator.
That setup will work wont it?

Isn't the eBay option cheaper at $185 though?

G'day guys,

Wondering if anyone has changed out their clutch kit for the 220mm upgrade kit from 'Clutch Industries' on eBay?

Any experience on it? Pro's/con's?

Hey guys...

Just to clarify some point from the discussion...

An alternator from a late model red 202 will do the trick ? 35 amp onwards ? I'm looking to do the same conversion to the missus' EK Special.

Brackets will be the problem. And the wiring. Although I'm sure the explanations are simple ...
