July 28, 201016 yr comment_455053 Its a K-W55/6/7 (alloy case) from a 7k powered townace. There's also the K-W40/50 (steel case) beelhousing that can be had from a 4k/5k powered liteace. Neither I would really consider rare though. :jamie: Report

I'm sure lots of people will find that useful! Thanks Taz Rx! :jamie: Edited July 28, 201016 yr by Handiman Report
July 28, 201016 yr comment_455092 You are aware you need to do a hydro clutch conversion for the K-alloy W? K-steel W is still cable, but not these ones. The 2x bolts sticking out of the bellhousing in the bottom right hand corner of your pic are to mount the clutch slave cylinder off. :jamie: Report

Also have a Ke20 manual pedal box to convert to hydro! Thanks Taz! UPDATE! Went shopping today and got a cheap gas and gasless MIG and some hole saws! HAHAHA! Don't worry, I don't like Swiss cheese! Thanks Guys! Report

September 26, 201016 yr Author comment_471749 Hello everyone! Long time no post! Been so busy doing all sorts of other stuff haven't really touched on anything rolla related! Got the motor apart and inspected the internals. All good except for the slight build up on the valve faces on no.3, caused by coolant entering the cylinder. Thanks to the previous owner using the wrong head bolts! :laff: Nice one Teddy! LOL Spent a couple of hours taking it all off and getting rid of all build up. :sob: Have just received the new rear axle setup, I now have an R31 disc brake rear end with tight as LSD. Thanks to Xany! Oh and a replacement distributor! :ninja: Phil keto came today to take my 3k and toyoglide off my hands. Nice meeting him, he has got some wicked plans, look out for his wagon in the future! Should have the car off to the panel shop in the next few weeks, I am over the paint and panel stuff. Ill get it back to all metal and let someone else do the rest. Oh and on the colour front I am toying with the old school sorta dark overrated green almost military Hard to explain! Like this, maybe a little darker! Anyway lots of work ahead going to join the others going for the fastest K powered car I need to get cracking! Edited September 28, 201015 yr by Handiman Report

March 1, 201214 yr Author comment_587829 Almost a year later...... Hi everyone who who gives a st! Sorta got side tracked a bit with the build and ran out of cash.... No room at all where I was attempting to build it and a puppy problem doesn't help. Good news though I am buying a house with a big shed so if all goes to plan I should be restarting a build thread in the next month or so. I have also decided to withdraw from the quickest K car group. Want to break a 9.00 LOL!!! So will try keep you all informed and will start a shed thread as soon as the contract finishes on the house! Keep On Rollin!!!!!! :worship: Report
