My EK project

[searsy]

How about some spacer blocks in the engine mounts (between top and bottom bits)?

how about a couple of small light taps with a big sledgy

I mean just masage the sump a little bit

[searsy]

as trev said HR will only make things worse, yor engine is set up to far forward 1. you can't fit a fan and 2. yor steering hits, yor just gunna have to live with it or move yor engine mounts

why doesn't the EJ collum fit i've put many in with no dramas

dis regard my previous comment engine mounts r definitely to far foward

[Mick Jagger]

phuck
x more than $*#@ 3
then the carb will hit the firewall
ill make a sump
or keep it quiet so nobody knows

[Mick Jagger]

no officer this model falcon had a bad turning circle

[Mick]

it shouldn't be to bad, not that often you need full lock, you want bad turning circle try a hadfield rack

[Mick Jagger]

thought about it whilst not sleeping
i can either A.move the mounts back and make/modify the gbox mount but the shifter will hit the seat,carb the firewall etc
or B.bend a bit of steel over some pipe and chop the sump and weld it in
Bloody cars...Q.if I slam on the brakes how far forward will the motor and box move?...i have 9mm


between waterpump bolts/radiator(Not a 9mm cock)

I have to move it back.

Mick the steering box holes arent in the same spot,close though
Searsy ,good idea but Im far to proffesional for that shinnanagins,although a massage sounds nice

[Craig Allardyce]

why not move the radiator forward???

[Mick Jagger]

cause of the lock down thingo

[Mick Jagger]

I moved mine forward and managed to keep the standard lock position for the bonnet. Just made up a new radiator support. I utilised the gap forward of the standard radiator position right up to the bonnet lock bracket. The radiator sat on the beaver panel and under the radiator cross support. Grill still fitted ok as well. Fans sat behind radiator where they should too.
My motor sat well forward so I could fit in the manifold and trimatic without any cutting.

Mk 2 Cotina Grill??????

[Mick Jagger]

Im requiring to purchase an fj holden grill,but they are few andfar between
Dont you like the cortina grill

[Trev]

I like the cortina grill
Probably means you won't use it .

I have about 10mm between my fan and radiator too.
Use an Eh to HR fan, they don't flex.
I used a HQ one and it ate my radiator .
