Probably not a bad suggestion. Just start off with a 7a block and add stroker crank, black top head and inlet - 2 litre 7agte FTW!!

does it look the same or did it come back ball raped

For those that are curious, I got it back for 700 as it sits. With no motor/box/tailshaft. The car had dirty handprints and s*#t all over it. Just needed a good clean up.

I was thinking just a stock 12a or 13b carby. Wanna stay carby for simplicity.

If your going na stick with the 13b. but seriously if your going rota you've gotta want that bridgy brap brap

I dont mind what I put in it. 12a or 13b. What ever is cheaper at the time. Have to get the AE86 to a point that Im happy with first, then Ill concentrate on the Gem. haha

13bs are sick

12a's are period correct and sick.

Therefore this gemini needs an NA/ carby, pulsing 12a flamethrower!

Cause the Gem is a side project Its not my main concern at the moment. My 86 is haha.

But once the bank account is healthy again after buying alot of much needed parts for the 86 then I can try and source some sort of Rotary powered engine and correctly install it into my Gee-mini.

Then skids

Yes I'm still lurking around here. hehe

Okay so the Rotary idea seemed to expensive and too hard and I'd honestly spend my money on the ae86 instead of the Gemini. haha.
But anyways dad and I bought a G200.

The specs are (according to the old owner who was an engine builder):
Ported intake side of the head
shaved and decked
stage 2 cam
copper headgasket.
It had f*#cked big end bearings. So we pulled it down,replaced the bearings, painted it up and made it look all pretty and s*#t.

Then we bought a the stuff we didn't have like a 32/36 weber, extractors, clutch, throttle cable, clutch cable, tailshaft and a radiator.

All we need to do is put the clutch in and put the box on and the motor can go back in finally.

It will hopefully be running soonish.. Not sure if it will get rego again. Id like to think so

Nice one Luke, it will be great to see you driving the old girl round again.
Love the car, and don't you dare think of selling it again! Unless your going to sell it to me up the road
