Nightmare, as head is not crossflow, therefore superhot exh is sitting below inlet manifold, then you have the hideous steering shaft, brakes, all in the way,...
Cheers Anthony was thinking that. How about supercharging? What is involved in a b23 or similar swap using m46? Will a b230ft fit? I have the car in pieces...
if you want to suprcharge look up vintage performance developments. You do need to make a 90deg turn adapter for the weber as his kit is for LHD and the RHD...
Thanks, am giving some thought to usin an sc14 supercharger of toyota origns good for up to 19psi and should be relatively easy to fit to b20e setup given...
Its definitely possible. There's a rough yellow 142 getting around Canberra with a LPG + turbo set-up that supposedly goes very well, and there are some crazy...
Hmmm well how would a 164 go on gas and a turbo or 2. /dlh. ... David Hallam zzdhalla@... Motobecane, BMW, Claude Butler, Merckx, Volvo, Suntour and...
i think you meant a b20a head on a stock b20 bottom end right??? b20e head is 10.5:1 which might not help with boost. also a cam suitable for turbo/blower is a...
Agreed on the head/CR stuff. Stock crank is no problem, at virtually "any" power level. Stock rods will last if the engine is built right. I have read some...
Ah now am confused! Was my understanding the heads were all the same give or take and compression was different by means of head gasket and pistons? Reason...
all bottom ends are same bore stroke and deck height except for cam which you would fit with a new A cam anyway rather than use an old worn out one. The E-head...
I am doubtful about the claims that 6-bolt cranks shear flywheel bolts. Sure, the 8-bolt versions must be stronger, but the torque handling capability of six...
Well fitting ARP crank bolts is what is suggested to prevent crank bolts from shearing. Apparently the stock ones go at 200hp and up......allegedly........
Can anyone point me in the right direction to get a custom exhaust in the Mornington Peninsula area? The 240 has desperate need and I'm thinking slightly...
I have not ever heard of flywheel bolt problems BUT if a problem did ocurr, I would be examining the mounting surfaces/installation before I convicted the...
Weeeell, i think a lot of this conversation is based on things we've heard and the old "collective wisdom". I;ve never had an issue but then i never had a b20...
G'day all, I'm chasing a few bits and pieces for the fleet and was wondering if anyone had a lead or suggested supply for: - Good condition (pref. new...
Hi Stephen, I have the flywheel in good nick some minor surface cracks (not as bad as the one I just had machined for my own car). I would like to get $120...
No worries Shane. Where abouts are you? Regards, Stephen C-S _____ From: OzHotVolvos@yahoogroups.com [mailto:OzHotVolvos@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Shane...
Wheelnuts: Try wheelnuts.com.au, Speedy Wheels, Speco, or IPD. One of 'em must have something suitable. Centre caps are more of a problem. Genuine (i.e....
You are after the flywheel from an '89 or later B230F equipped 240, 740 or 940, with the LH-Jet 2.4 EFI and EZK ignition. I presume the later B230FX, FB etc....
Hello Guys, I have a '74 164E with B30E, Bored with B21 Pistons. I have no compression on the 4th cylinder, since about 3 months (500km) the car still runs...

Hello Curt, How would you get the piston & rings back in the bore from the bottom? A bit tricky I guess. Are you sure that a new head gasket could not be made...
it is possible to do and youll spend a lot of time on your back. Best pulling the whole engine, mounting it onto an engine stand so you can spin it upside...
oops should read posts. Youll have solid lifters and you wont need to remove cam being a b30. For some reason my brain thought b21/b23. otherwise all is still...
