Hi all,
scored a 180B SSS motor on the weekend. There is no
"W" on the block number so I assume it is an earlier version which means the
sump should fit in a 1600 (510). It came with W53 (big port) head, twin
"square-top" SU's ("with provision for an electric choke" - said the seller)
plus a blue airbox but no gearbox. The guy threw in a Bluebird TRX 5-speed
and the complete 180B SSS tacho dash with 200km/h speedo and trip odometer, all
for a very cheap price.
Then he showed me an interesting dash mod you can
do with your 510 if you're not interested in keeping it
original. Around the dials of your 510 you will notice a recessed
rectangle moulded into the fascia. Cut out this recessed part and
insert a set of 180B SSS dials behind the fascia. Fits like it was meant to
be! The 180B SSS dials I have have a dark blue
background..nice.
By the way, how good is the TRX 5-speed box? I
assume it's better or stronger than a Stanza SSS, of which I have 2. Any
idea whether the TRX box has closer ratios than the Stanza SSS?
Cheers,
Rob P
