Subject: Instrument cluster mods, 180B
SSS, TRX 5-speed
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
