hi everyone .FIRST QUESTION. ive got a fb wagon i wish to install extractors. but my car has had a hr front end and a 179 installed.i have checked locally and they dont make a set to fit with the red motor because i am currently running the standard three speed and this gearbox has supports at the bellhousing which later holdens didnt have does anyone know where i can get a set to fit off the shelf or do i have to modify the set i have got off a torana . SECOND QUESTION.
option two is to install a 4 speed on the floor wouldi use an m20 or m21 for example and can i adapt the rear mount support on the cross member instead of the front ones on the 3 speed andcan u see any dramas doing this . thankyou heaps sorry it is so long
extractor and gearbox advice
Regarding extractor question, I'm sure you can buy them for an FB/EK using red motor and original grey box but I may be wrong.I'm about to put a 149 into EK sedan using Orig grey box so I'll be making same enquiries as you soon. Anyway look up some websites like Genie,Pacemaker etc and see how you go.If I find anything in meantime I'll let you know. SECOND QUESTION I havn't done a 4 speed conversion but plenty have so someone else may be able to answer but I'd guess the 4 speed fits with rear box mount member mods.This would probably give more room for red extractor fitment as you wouldn't need the rear engine mounts anymore. Over to the experts now on this one..... Terry.
I can't think what to write here so this will do.
