Project Bodge
Re: Project Bodge
Lets not go into it here, this is ferris's build thread. But I don't really know what the end result will be yet, I mostly want to compare internals to see what is possible.turbo-tom wrote:Hybrid? So sammi 5 speed into 410 casing?
Re: Project Bodge
Well the gearbox is back in. What a bloody nightmare trying to lift it back in on my own. Nearly dropped it on my face a few times
Just waiting for a oil seal from suzuki and il be back on the road.

Re: Project Bodge
Tip top job bud! Pleased its almost sorted.
It is a mess on trying to get the box in alone i found. It either goes in dead easy or takes ages of jiggling and wiggling till your arms feel like they are gonna drop off.

Yeah i definitely felt like i'd been to the gym after . I had to use a crow bar to push the engine forward for the box to fit back in.
