[DJKOR]

Damn. You cleaned those up nicely.

[Guest]

Damn. You cleaned those up nicely.

just a quick scrub in the parts washer did nicely... just wanted to get the bulk of the grease off... will do them properly later.

[SecaBoy]

thats cool!!! hahaha

[Guest]

i have a *lot* of stuff at my place lol

[trentmeyer23]

hoarder much? lol :P

[Guest]

haha a bit i spose... just worked on too many cars LOL

[Guest]

So here is a quick run down of what i need;

items in bold i have

1 x complete 3sge head (1986) (complete with cams, cam gears, valves, lifters, the lot!, oil switch, rocker covers everything you can score from it)

1 x 3sge timing belt covers (should be 3 covers in total, 3 meaning 2 outside covers and 1 backing plate)

1 x 3sge timing belt and tensioner (with spring)

1 x brand new set of head bolts

1 x 3sge water outlet (go to wreckers) with all the pipe fittings from the 3sge water outlet still attatched cause some different pipe shapes will be required. Try and score the hose clamps too, can never have too many.

1 x VDO adapter to adapt smallest 5sfe coolant temp sender into one of the 3sge coolant sensor mounts on the 3sge water outlet (you will know which of the many mounts to adapt it to when you get to this stage) - might not need this

1 x 3sge intake manifold (including the tvis butterflies, again score as much of the parts off it as you can)

1 x 3sge complete throttle body (from wreckers) (with no electronic ISC valve. You will see underneith, its got no wire plugs for an ISC, only for a throttle position sensor. Pretty sure you will only find this type on the early st162's rather than the late. Say 86' model)

1 x Your current running and healthy 5sfe (healthy block more importantly, if the top end is sick, it will be disposed of anyways)

1 x 1990 GT4 (or alltrac for the U.S) distributor. The 1990 3sge distributor might be suitable, but i wouldn't know, Australia didn't get 3sge powered st184's (Make sure the dissy matches ur stock 5sfe setup, ie: with or without inbuild coil/ignitor)

1 x 3sge ignition leads

1 x 3sge alternator mount, tensioner and alternator belt.
