V6 in a Baja update
Baja Wes - October 4th, 2002 at 11:00 AM

For those who are interested, I've added some more pics to my transplant diary. Check it out...

Me and a friend also lift the engine. It weighs more than a type 1, but not as much as a fully dressed type 4. We tried weighing it but the scales didn't like it.

looks pretty beasty mate- smart move using the rear cut to trial fit the engine:thumb

yeah the rear cut will let me do everything before pulling my car off the road. I need to do radiator mounts, piping and shrouding, rear engine mount, intake piping, wiring, probably other stuff too.

Am following along with interest Wes. Have you changed your mind about not coming down to Stockton November 2/3?

Cheers,
The Bronze.

Unfortunately I'll be in Townsville then Bronze. I am going there for 6 months for work. Leaving at the end of this month. Work is flying me back for the fraser trip and xmas though which is good. So hopefully I'll get most of the V6 stuff ready before I go, and then finish it off over xmas. As long as it's ready for 2003 Valla I'll be happy.

PS: Bronze, that signature pic needs some resizing :thumb
