This'll be great with the 230 in

i hope so

engine is ready to go in waiting on a clutch

small update
still waiting for a clutch

but got a rover turbo throttle body converted to fit a volvo injection inlet manifold so fitted that and blanked off the injector holes



2.5 inch all the way through


and it mocked up with the lpg carb
and a random group a air filter i had luying about



then got onto the engine
started off with this


new end cover seal
crank and intermidiet cam seal
new water pump annd seals
swaped over sumps and pick up pipes
new timing belt+ tensioner
re fitted everything
quick pain on the block
and the rocker cover red ( with green volvo lettering ....... )
and here it is


u might see that the car has alot of lock.... ive made washers to space the bump stops in the rack all i need to do now is get the alignment set up a bit better and test it out

i also wire up my wide band lambda and started running llpg pipes but ill explain that more later on once i finished it

thats all for now

got it running last night on petrol (after removing the engine again due to fitting the flywheel 90* out


tomorrows job tidy it up abit and then swap inlets to my gas one

happy new year!

Make sure you do not have any rev limiter or you will get a big bang if you hit it!

i wasnt sure if i should fit one or not

is this you talking from experience or?

Over the year I've had a lot of folk come to me with smashed up air intakes, blown up manifolds, damaged mixers and vapourisers due to backfires from rev limitrs amoungst other things.

yeah quite the common thing with gas

ive got a non return valve (1.5") fitted so with a vacuum its shut but if it does flash back it just puts it out the valve did it once on me today whilst setting it up (my own fault turned the adjuster the rong way )but seemed to do the job spot on!

You mean a pop off valve?

yeah think thats the proper name for them

ok update

car has been running for the past week spot on (except the gas vaporiser going so now back on petrol)

think the cars going to get used for autotest etc now so my mate ( who i sold the bike carbs to) is going in halfers for the car with me

so bike carbs are getting fitted again

also fitted my 3" dished wheel love it

Pics or it didn't happen
