Re: How to gearbox

[Terry & Heather]

Colin, I can tell you that the Z SU's are 44 mm & L16/L18SSS ones are 38 mm, most parts including needles etc. should be still available in Australia from any carbi tuning joint.  A lot of 510 owners in the US are SU "nuts" Here is a link that you could find some good reading: http://www.jetlink.net/~okayfine/sutech.html terry Colin Gleeson wrote:  Damn Damnthanx for that on the tailshaft no comments on the twins idea yet ??? ----- Original Message ----- From:Terry & Heather To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 27 March 2000 7:39 Subject: Re: How to gearbox  NO, if only it was that easy! You need a standard length 510 tailshaft shortened by 130 mm.

Based on this, I would expect that you would need a new tailshaft and move the hole in the floor.  Not sure about the mount.

We have turned up some thing suitable (nothing special) just round the corner. Series 11 Bluebird c/w 5 Spd. Listers Will be converting next weekend so some quick questions.     Is this g/box OK to use in 1600     Short ? Long? or what ever.     Do we need one of those fabricated rear mounts?     Move the hole in the floor?     What will we need for tailshaft - cut and shut or original?     Presume 1600 speedo cable plonks in. Could have more questions on this next week but......thinking ahead to get around the polutant carb system are the 6 cyl Z twin carbs bigger than the 4 cyl SSS ? Mount on SSS manifold? Are different needles available? presumed different between 16 -1800 at least? OR are all these thoughts of tuning and mixtures just a waste of time and we get a SSS set and 'just wack em on' and they work OK?
