 |
|
just need a bit of info for fitting a v8 to a gemi...
im looking at using a holden 5L basically because they are cheaper than chevs. i also want to use a manual as well, maybe a supra 5 speed??
what has to be done to the brake system to fit the motor? ie moving the master cylinder
does the steering have to be moved or will it clear the engine? can i use a factory sup or do i need a custom made one?
thats a few q's to get me started, i want the best of both worlds.... 13b turbo gemi for going fast and V8 gemi for doing stomper burnouts 
cheers |

why would you need to relocate the master cylinder why not just leave it out...if you just hook your brake pedal to the handbrake cable leading to the back wheels that will be fine
as for the steering id go for a 4ws conversion i hear the honda system bolts straight in
oh by the way if you use a standard gemini sump it will also save you some money.
hope this helps |
