Hi all, My '67 KE10 is in need of a good service. Any recommendations of mechanics in the Melbourne area (Preston/Brunswick/Coburg)? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Rob (Robert), they are some really helpful tips. Great for newcomers to the board to get friendly advice.

Thanks guys. Following on, does anyone know where (a) I can get a KE55 5-speed box, and (b) the changover done (e.g. tailshaft mods)?

Hi all, I just picked up a very pretty 1974 KE20 with Automatic gbox. How hard will it be to change it over to manual using a KE55 5 speed box? I know I've got to move the shifter hole, but is everything else (pretty much) a drop-in replacement? Thanks in advance, Dave

My name's Dave and I live in East Brunswick. I currently drive a stock 1973 KE20. Love that car. Looking to put a sweet engine in it and keep it going 'til I die. Can't wait to get some ideas and advice on what engine to drop in and where I can go to get the work done. Also looking to buy another KE10 or KE20 runaround for my squeeze. Rolla Background: My 1st car (when I was aged 16 - in 1990) was a 1969 KE10 fitted with a 3K engine. 2nd car was a stock 1972 KE20 3rd car was a 1969 KE10 with a K engine (rebuilt that one myself, and someone nicked it!) 4th car was a Kingswood (let's not talk about that) 5th (and current) car is the one I've got now. Driven it all over Victoria, but she's more of a city runner 'til I can get her a little bit of TLC.
