Re: 75 Wagon

Sweet! I found a g54b in a l200 at the local wreckers. Since my g52 flywheel will be incompatible to swap over, are all the wideblock flywheels the same? This particular truck was 4wd with the KM145 on it.

Re: 75 Wagon

When doing a wideblock and KM132 swap, will the later slip yoke (bigger trans output shaft) fit onto the stock U-joint or will I need a new propeller shaft?

I know the trans mount shift back a bit as well.

Re: 76 Colt Galant Coupe

Left side still needs a coil cut on this side to match the right side and sit right where it should with a lightened front end (dummy block and head with trans bolted in only). http://imageshack.us/a/img24/9449/img7835nf.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img827/1017/mg7840.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img19/...

Got a L200 trans crossmember that I can Modify to suit both the supra trans and the car! Just a tad wider than the Coupe's, which makes it easily adaptable. Drill new holes for mounting and new holes in trans mount spot. Now unlike the stock crossmember or a Starion crossmember, the tranny bushing m...

I'd say inside, so the turn indicators are on the corners (I know GC tails don't follow this concept as do some cars).

Think it may be a gb with gto front. Seen it before. Looks cool.
I believe in the "random Galant pictures" thread we agreed it was a GD Galant with A57C GTO front end, because the fenders are longer than GA/GB.

Did some wiring today, had to rewire the tails so that the amber corners functioned like AU/JDM/EU spec cars.

Re: 76 Colt Galant Coupe

The benefit of still having the '77 Shell? I can test fit things when i'm not at the shop where the Coupe is at. :thumpsup: Put the Starion pedal on the stock mount bracket, now to see how well it bolts up. If it doesn't work out, I'm going to need to request one from over there!
