well my engine is starting to use oil and coolant badly so its time to get started on my build ordering some replacement .020 over pistons, 4ze1 valves g200 oil pump and a full rebuild set pieced together from the better available parts still looking for head bolts/studs if anyone can point me the r...

thank ya :D i will post up some pics of the truck as soon as i fix the front end damage and get started on the engine have been thinking and as far as i have heard the 4ze1 valves are the best ones to machine the head for from the "stock" options and since they are really cheap i hope that...

hello all, im back after a while of being idle, have been daily driving my luv for a few years now with the g180/4 speed, i love the truck but the gutless wonder needs some power :lol: right now it has an electronic dizzy from a g200 pickup, weber 32/36 dgev, and about 30k on a rebuild finally got a...

little bit of tuning later and it will be a fun lil truck.

no worries lol. and got ya, both of mine are 2 doors a 73 and i think a 71 luckily i know a guy with more money/cars than time, im getting the 2 510s for $250usd/$237aud one runs/drives with an l20, one needs a drivetrain anyway pretty much decided on blow thru lpg. keep it simple and reliable. plus...

are they that hard to find over there? shipping a car over there would be $$$ and im not sure if you could get it to comply with emissions (if it wasnt going to be a track car)

well i will have 2 510s sadly i think shipping one to oz would cost more than im paying for the pair of them
