Good nose, lol.

Is that ur conversion? If so, nice stuff mate 🙂

Looks like that buggy is gonna really fly.

Hi Brad,

How long till its on the road? Interested in any performance specs you can gather ... economy, 0-100, 0-100 with a load - no I'm not really interested in drag racing one, its just an easy measure of power 🙂

When you have some pics of the radiator solution I would love to see em.

My boat is looking more an more like a subbie engine every time I walk past it :thumb

cheers

I have a Kombi with an EJ22 fitted.The Manx had a fresh 1916 Pobjoy injected engine in it.The Kombi went better and used less fuel...and was a lot cheaper,hence the Manx will now have an EJ22.......:kiss

Would be keen to see how this goes. Might consider the swap in my baja.

Brad, what are you using to support the engine from underneath it?
Or are you just holding it using the bellhousing like subaru boxer is?
