December 7, 201015 yr comment_486965 You've pictured a ke30/55 4 speed there, so you'll have to cut a hole for the shifter. Like you said a ke70 box will line up with the auto shifter hole. Oh and you can't use a 5k head on a 4k as it'll give you something stupid like 14:1 compression. 3k head will up the CR on a 4k acceptable though. Report

Yeh, thought that it would need cutting to fit a ke70 box but didnt realise that the auto box was in the right spot, least the ke70 5spd's are more common to find! Ah what i meant was 4k head on 5k block, but we have found a 5k head so will be doing a complete 5k. Report

January 11, 201115 yr Author comment_494524 well, putting the 5k together, still need 4 pushrods that are 141.5mm ball and cup, cos we don't have the 5k rocker gear, so if anybody has any that size or knows where to get some, let me know if you can ;) . Gonna hopefully clean the rest of the bay and put in the engine/block and gearbox on sunday, rego soon and then putting on the superchargerrrrr !! Edited January 11, 201115 yr by haydoss Report
January 16, 201115 yr Author comment_495778 Got the 5K and gearbox in today, just gotta find 2 more pushrods from an A10/Datsun 1000 engine to complete it. Made an adaptor to put the pulley from the crank and the supercharger to spin together Once we get some pushrods, hopefully get the supercharger in and ready to go :D Report
January 16, 201115 yr comment_495782 Do they need to be A10's ? I got a set of A12's here somewhere.. Report
January 19, 201115 yr Author comment_496700 Finished putting the engine together, got it running finally :) sounds a bit like a truck just having it run through the extractors. Getting started on the supercharger sometime very soon :) Report
