Re: advice and knowledge assistance for lb circuit car

I think one reason for using sigma struts[on rally cars] was that lancer stub axles could bend if pushed too hard over rough stuff
if you get sigma lower control arms,try to get GJ onwards LCAs ,GH mounting bolt

Has it got to be 4g35 or would an astron 1850 or 4g62 suit.I know where there is a 35 ,possibly 1770,no5 cam,45 webers,etc
It might take a bit of talking to get him to sell it though.

Re: How to read the serial number on an Astron block.

Hi all,
I am trying to figure out what vehicle a 2 litre astron motor has come out of.

Engine number is 4g52 52BL2722

Obviously it is a 2 litre astron - quite possibly from an L200 or L300, but I can't find any info on how to work out what it is from

Any help would be appreciated

I rang the NSW RTA and they told me I can upgraade by 15% of the original motor. A 4 g 32 is 1597cc plus 15% should make it 1836.55cc. A 4g67 is 1836cc. Does this sound right to ...
