I've been lurking here a while while contemplating the purchase of a 78 Sigma. Took a look at it on Sunday and if all goes well, I'll be picking it up on the weekend. I've actually already put a (only $50 lol) deposit on it, but may pass it up if it works out too costly.
I'm in Melbourne, and looking to register it for on road use. Nothing crazy power wise, just want something to work on and eventually drive on the weekends.
Looking at using the kit from v6conversions, however it obviously doesn't cover everything. Also some problematic stories regarding the gearbox crossmember worry me. I called them though and they assured me it'll all bolt up using a vn rubber mount or something.
I've done extensive searching on here, however apologies if I've missed something that's been covered before.
So basically, engine mounts, gearbox , wiring etc I have my head around.
Confused about:
Diff:
From what I was reading I can throw in a scorpion 10 bolt and be done with it, just have the commodore? tailshaft shortened and mated to the scorpion end?
Suspension:
From an engineering perspective what's required on this end?
Brakes:
Will a disc brake rear end setup from a newer Sigma be adequate with the front discs on an ecotec?
Gearbox:
Tunnel, will smashing the tunnel with a hammer to achieve clearance make getting this thing registered / engineered an issue? Apparently it needs a "slight" modification.
Please put my mind at ease so I can go and buy this beast on the weekend
