Chronicles of a 13BT swap......

[captainbizzaro]

For anyone who is interested here is the SS backbox-I was incorrect about the rest of the system though-thats all good ol\' fashioned recycled fridge.



There is also a manifold that will be up for grabs too-it\'s not pretty but it works.

Nice work you\'re doing there Tim - all this on your own?
Good news on the rear suspension mounting areas and looks as if you have caught the sunroof in time.  I know how disappointing it is to find corroded areas but the essence is to remain positive - not that Nev is that bad though.
Keep it coming mate.

Will pm you re the exhaust.

Well, kind of on my own-got my 9 yr old boy helping me out!

Not slave labour from the workhouse I trust?

[captainbizzaro]

He would have you think it was slave labour probably.

[CHC (RIP)]

That\'s kids for you these days I suppose - but now is the time to start training him properly and get him interested on the rotary engines and the finer points of fb\'s don\'t you think?  Start \'em young I say, I would have loved this type of opportunity when I was a lad.

Anyone got a 12A oil pickup going spare? Think thats what will fit anyhow.

Okay Keith no worries I will do that.

Well my gaskets arrived



So that gives me something to do tomorrow-I should be pulling the 12A,putting the 12AT front cover and transferring the engine mount onto the 13BT. Thats as long as the gaskets are right so fingers crossed.

Mine crossed too Tim.

Bit of this today...



Resulting in this...



Now officially past the point of no return!

[captainbizzaro]

Anybody got any thoughts on what oil cooler I could use-would a generic ebay 15 or 19 row be sufficient?
