well the crankshaft was moving back and forward (snapping belts ect) and then it did a head gasget.
there was no way i was gonna spend heaps of money fixing my 3.9 so i though id have a crack at a lowish k hopefully longer lasting 4.0 it wouldve been alot easier to just chuck an ed xr6 in but its fully custom now

Ben I think the main problem people run into when putting an AU motor into E-series is that they cut the crossmember. There is absolutely no need to do so at all. Just grind down the fins on the front of the sump. Thats what I did with mine and I have a good 1cm or so gap between the front of the sump and the crossmember. Cutting and welding any part of the k-frame is really dodgy. Can't imagine that it would still pass a roadworthy if someone looked at a cut kframe.

yeah it was at like midnight and id been trying to bend it for hours and that thing is damn strong. i didnt want to cut the fins off like you did cause it really weakens the sump. i only cut 3 sides just to bend it easier. anyway hopefully they wont see it in the roadworthy. touchwood

thats what i did to mine...that part of the k frame isnt really a load bearing part of the frame anyway its just to add rigidy... when i got the blue slip nsw (road worthy) to change the engine number over they didnt even look at the front of the k frame.. its good to see you got it up and running did you use the log manifold or did you go with the el manifold and ecu???? |
