Brisbane, near Gateway bridge.

why did you remove it ?

Seagull, i had an alloy V8 in the back of my splitty ute for nearly 20 years , 4 wheel disc brakes, twin fuel tanks, etc etc etc--->

http://madmatt.bigblog.com.au/data/1/8412/image/V8CombieMoretonIs392502006090...

& the Dept Of Tpt ended up wanting it off the road, so,,,i put it all into a Rivmaster off-road racing frame Buggy --->

http://madmatt.bigblog.com.au/data/1/8412/image/buggyjump12959420070103192601...

& raced that for about 4 years till my back couldn`t take it any longer ,then sold the buggy (minus the power plant) to an Airforce pilot at Amberley... i re-built the whole engine & shoved it into a motorkhana special --->

http://madmatt.bigblog.com.au/data/1/8412/image/mrbug5949620060626144038.jpg 

but it only ran up the road & back, it was just insane to drive, my mates called it "whiplash" cause that`s what you got every gear change :-) so i ripped it out of that thing & gave the frame to a mate of mine to fit a mini motor into it & teach his kids how to drive,,, so the whole power unit, gearbox & adaptor assy is sitting here, all done up, like brand new, ready to fit into VW-whateva,,, just that i don`t have that "VW-whateva" anymore... I sold all my Splitty stuff (except i still have a steering box & a few wide wheels left)

so,,, this is just sitting here taking up space where i can put my new buggy--->

http://madmatt.bigblog.com.au/data/1/8412/image/R1Buggy022305820061228231818.jpg 

I was thinking about turning the box upsidedown & building an open wheeler frame for it to go hillclimbing as i also have a full set of turbo manifolds made ready & the T4 turbo fully overhauled sitting here that could go onto it as well,,, but i have way too many projects allready,

so it`s got to go,,, & it is totally spanking, i really has only gone up the driveway & 100 yards down the road maybe 3 times max,,, that`s as far as it`s driven from new... there`s a heavy duty clutch pressure plate & copper puck plate with it as well.

calling Pete Wood... this is the motor you need for your motorkhana special !!

that first pic under the split ute is unreal!!!

love it

nick

Bond,,, My girlfriend took that pic while i was trying to repair a brake hose that split after i smashed into a big motha log at Moreton Island, got a flat tyre & bent the right front riim & bent the steering tie rod all in one hit, hence why the small wheels are on the front. Normally had the 9.5R15s on the front with those huge 12R15s on the back.

I have a pair of 9.5R13" sand wheels & tyres here for sale too if anyone is interested,,, along with 2 kombi offset sunraisiers & 2 beetle offset ones as well, all 6 wheels & tyres for $100,,, come & grab em better that someone gets some use out of them than just sitting here taking up space.

i cant believe you are selling this now, if it was a year ago i would have bought it in an instant!

it cost me just over $2000 to completely rebuild my 3.5 V8, let alone the cost of the conversion kit and geaRBOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

im so tempted to buy this,

damn that is a good price mate!

yeah i know, thanks Kevo,,, I really just havn`t got the room & i can`t see me doing another kombi V8 for some time as i`ve got my new yamy R1 powered buggy on the go & am in the middle of building 3 new race minis, so this just has to go.

I can put onto a pallat & wire/rope/tape it all down & whack onto a courier/truck/van of your choice at buyers expense.

The funnyest thing about this conversion was when i did it the first time (about 26 years ago) was that it took just over an hour & the V-dub motor was out & the V8 was in & running.

anyways, transport to anywhere in Oz shouldn`t be too hard to orgainise & i have had 2 calls on it so far, so there are people thinking about it, fingers crossed that someone will get to feel the grunt that this thing produces... better get your brakes up to scratch tho :-)

It truely has only gone down the street a couple of times & that`s it

:-( I really don`t want to sell it, but it`s in the way,,, i can definately use the money on my buggy,,, & it would be even sadder to leave it sit & not get used.

[ Edited on 4-1-2007 by TheMiniMan ]

Besides,,, i`ve got another one of these alloy V8s, T4 turbo charged in the front of one of my race minis :-)

serious!!! & still front wheel drive to :-)

soooo,,, as you can see,,, i`ll have my hands pretty full with alloy V8 power even without the kombi V8 :-)

Ok,,, who`s keen now if i said i`d drop the price to $1800,,, just so it helps a bit with shipping/freighting the thing??????

Surely someone will want "Decent" grunt in their Zombie, Surely???

$1800

ph me, you know you want to......

don`t have to tell the misses, just do it & say it followed you home :-)

I used to love draggin off commodores & wheel standing past them at traffic lights in my splitty Ute :-)

i would love to buy it if its still for sale in a 6 weeks or so for sure!

not to replace the new 3.5, but for another kombi, then i could have an everyday v8 kombi and a bulls**t faszt street weekender v8 kombi, $1800 is Too good to be true i just dont got ne cash to spend right now hey, sorry mate

4.4 you say? It'd be a good upgrade for my Land Rover.
Good luck with the sale.
-Staggers.

Thanks Volkswagenboy,. it is a good upgrade for any car really.

I`m getting pretty desperit , anyone even half keen might want to ring me pretty soon otherwise i`ll just have to buy another kombie to put it in myself :-)

Common, $1800 is pigeon feed for this ,,,

Ok,,, i`ll take $1700,,, this just has to go

I`ve got lack of room problems & i can`t see me getting another kombi ute to shove it into for years & i really need the money now too

It even comes with a fully over hauled starter motor

what`s wrong with you lot??? Don`t you like doin wheel stands? :-)

are you scared of real grunt under you right foot? :-)

who wants an absolute weapon at an absolute bargain???? Dam the engine cost more than twice that just to have overhauled , flowed, balanced, new pistons & rings, bearings, new JP double row timing gears & chain, etc etc etc etc etc etc& it`s barely turned a kilometer or 2 since then, it`s truely brand spanking, & bullet proof. My familly were the Brisbane Leyland distributors back in the day, this is a dam good donk, make no mistake!!! & it is my own personal motor, not just something i`ve trown together. crickey!!!!

whoever buys this is going to laugh at all you guys for not buying it,,, it`s such good value,,, you will all kick yourselves for not grabbing it.

you have u2u

sorry about the delays with the u2u thing,,, i`m a dork & didn`t even see/know that they were there,,, all enquiries have been attended to now :-(

my bad,,, sorry

ph me if you`d like more info 0407 135 656

cheers & thanks for the responses
Matt

heya mate, as the 2.0 exploded in the kombi i am in the market for a new engine... you say it has pretty much everything i need to fit, does it inclued radiator,exhaust etc etc,


thanks

steff....................

i do have a range rover one here that`s been modded to lie flat under the car & you`re welcome to it if you buy the donk & i have the old exhaust that i used on my Zombie Ute & you`re welcome to it also, but you might want to have another couple of mufflers added for your neighbours sanity sake. no pipes to plumb the water tho, you`ll have to sort some stuff like that, but i can help with info of how i did things easy-peasy, it`s not hard at all, just a little bit of time & you`re away.

secret squiril u2u

hee hee,,, lots of secret squirell u2us goin on now :-)

If I had the money right now, it would already be gone. I'd even drive up to pick it up. Pity you're in a hurry to sell it.

yeah i am in a hurry Kruzin Kol, the shed is getting cleaned out & some new concreat is happening & then a whole heap of shelves are being made up, i have crap everywhere

I do have a few guys interested & we`re talking , The price is definate now, not going any lower, it`s allready gone way way too low now, i`m going to cry when this goes. But i really do need the room & i really REALLY need the money now too. :-(

I bought this and am soon to have a nice V8 powered buggy
