Hey Mark, I think I know the car with the Z18 that you saw! That was a Z18 fitted with a L series box - the engine was moved to make the gear shifter point straight upwards! The shock tower was also bashed a fair bit. It was hideous. Fortunately Craig fitted a proper Z box was fitted and the engine righted! So make sure you use the same gearbox from the same series of motor, ie L on L or Z on Z! zac ----- Original Message ----- From: robert hall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, July 12, 2001 10:27 PM Subject: z18 > > hi, i am slowly starting to sort out the problems with my 1600. > > has any one ever put a L20b block fitted with a Z18 head and factory Z18 > fuel injection in a 1600.? > i have seen pictures of a complete z18 engine in a 1600 and the inlet manifold > clears the shocker tower by a few inches. > i am using std 1600 mounts, but when putting in my hybrid motor the inlet > manifold hits the drivers side shocker tower, and if i swap engine mounts > around the motor leans towards the passenger side , that much that it is > impossible to bolt the gearbox cross member up and the sump is not level. > > > do i have to modify the shocker tower? any thing else i can do? > > > mark > > > > > --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
