Thanks mate :)

Sorry I didn't reply earlier. I've got a fresh Toyota axle in there, so I'm not keen on changing the rear end.

Cheers - no prices unfortunately (means expensive!) and I can't see myself tripping across one at the next swap meet...

Hi guru's - quick question this time. With the RV8 and BW65 auto is there any spacing required between the flexplate and converter? I had always assumed they were directly bolted to each other. No diagrams on the interwebs indicate spacers, but just checking before I do something expensive...

3500 to BW66.

Hi gurus, Is there a specific torque settings for the 4 bolts between bellhousing and case? Locktite or not? Cheers!

Hi gurus, I have a v8 points distributor I'd like to use but I'm not confident it's ok. What should I check and how to see if it's serviceable?

Short story long, I'm putting a 3.5 into my Mk2 Cortina. I've been keeping an eye out for a cheap 4.6 (for later, the 3.5 has to go in for the car to be certified as I'm only 'supposed' to go to 3.7L max capacity) and I managed to get one at price I couldn't resist. Before I got assurances from...

Thanks legends!
