From the album: TOYOTA CORONA 2000-GT
Rigged out as Car Zero Official Repco 1978 Trial. After the 1976 event they all said, lets do it again. So we decked out the 2000 GT with new gearbox, diff and suspension and became an official car zero to open and position controls in the 1978 around Australia Reliability Trial sponsored by Repco. -

Hi Bob. I ran an RT40 with 2R then a 12R and used lots of parts from the 4R 1600S engine. I used the 12R as it had full flow oil flitering whereas the early 4R's had partial metered oil filtering. Wade, or Crowe 24/80 cams worked fine most heads had dual valve srpings, but the best thing you could do is find a 9R head Yamaha from the 1600GT and fit it. QED using blank dummy oil shaft and front timing cover. I ran a 48mm weber on a 12r with high dome 4R pistons and it won rallies.
