what else apart from motor and computer are needed to do the conversion?

 

I assume they would have a mechanical fuel pump on the side of the motor?

 

can I just run an external pump in it's place or will I need to also fit a pick up pump in the tank?

 

Is the fuel line thick enough? Or will I need to change it

 

Those of you that have done the conversion before, what did you use as a fuel return line from the fuel rail to the tank? steel tubing? or just a length of rubber hose?

 

Any thing else I need?

thanks buddy

had already taken into consideration the manifolds, so it looks like I didn't overlook anything

 

I can use the clutch/flywheel from my AE71 right?

the car only has to run for a day :blinks:

dump the motor in with bare basics to drive and get mod plate

then come back out again straight away and start on mods :jason:

Unless your going to a dodgy fella your gonna have big problems getting a mod plate.

I'm pretty sure they wont be happy with the stock AE71 brakes either.

why will I have trouble with a mod plate?

 

You only need to upgrade brakes on cars before 1971 when doing an engine conversion. And even then there has to be a certain amount of increase in the engine displacement before an upgraded is needed.

 

As for the clutch concern....what car should I ask for a clutch for?

A 4AGZE clutch flywheel apparently won't fit into the T50 bellhousing I was told

 

A flywheel from a 4AGE is slightly smaller isn't it? were there any aus delivered cars with a RWD 4AGE so I can just go buy a clutch/flywheel for that?

If you're northside BNE or Sunny coast, I can put you onto a custom clutch...

But the reason you are being told a GZE clutch wont fit is GZE is Front Wheel Drive and has a FWD gearbox :jason:

hehe I do realise that a FWD clutch can't be used

I was refering to the flywheel being an inch or so to tall to fit into the T50 bellhousing

what kind of $$$ would we be talking?

AFAIK any 4age flywheel can be used as well as the approprate clutch. ie AE92 flywheel + AE92 clutch.

the 4agze flywheel is slightly larger i beleive, but id still use it. its the box id be concerned about... are you planning on power upgrades? hard driving? a t50 is fine on a 4age but whack any serious power thru it and itll break.

 

the ae71 fly wont even bolt on to the crank

the 4agze flywheel is slightly larger i beleive, but id still use it.

you can't use it

it doesn't fit in the T50 bellhousing

i didnt quite phrase that the way i intended.. what i meant was id use the 4agze flywheel, but not a t50. id go the w55 straight up. that way when/if you plan any power upgrades youv got the running gear to handle it

i hear there fine

Are you sure? Isn't the 4AGZE flywheel the same as the smallport flywheel (the bigger of the 2 types that came with 4AGE's). If so, I'm using the smallport flywheel and it fits in my T50 bellhousing...
