Opinions on inlet manifold and fuel system

[MikeLMR]

It\'d be well on it\'s way to going back in if I hadn\'t been on my hols for a week in the Isle of Man for the manx rally.

Stock engine going in, or slightly warmed over?

You not see the 4 pot lying on the ground.......seems to be a 323 motor !!!!!!!!:eek:  Most probs a full rally spec motor as well :Laugh

[Brett]

Oooh!  Snail powered 1.6?

[MikeLMR]

its a bit bigger than a 1.6

[Brett]

Cool

Wonder if the 2.5V6 would lend itself to a RWD conversion?

[MikeLMR]

it certainly does, there isn\'t a bolt on option though. (although I think some of the 929\'s had a v6 and were rwd ... they look like a square shape Cosmo)

[Brett]

Got any pics? Or a link? (Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay off topic I know)

[MikeLMR]

ah not found the one I wanted but they did a new cosmo shape one too. Now what I want now is the gearbox off one of these ... I bet they are all auto though.

That is cool!  How come we don\'t get anything that cool over here?

[MikeLMR]

it\'d make a nice daily drifter but a bit heavy on fuel I bet

[MikeLMR]

well bit of an update on this one. I got a 33Kg parcel from a little known company called mazdatrix the other day

The old engine was in a bad state when it was pulled to bits so it\'s now got brand new housings, carbon seals and I\'ve had the side plates lightened by having a load of metal cut out of them It should be going back in the car over the x-mas hols along with a new light steel flywheel, uprated clutch and all new clutch hydraulics.

I will also have a good tidy up in the engine bay and clean everything before it\'s all back together.

 That\'s got to be quote of the year! :Giggle :rollin :cool
