hehe yeah, I was one of those diesel guys at one point, it's gonna be funny when I have a Troopy that I can smoke up at the lights yet cruise around stealthily when I please.

That is a fun to do
 
Nope, only just getting started

Trans was clean as a whistle inside, magnet was clean, no silver sheen to be seen. So, new seals and gaskets, a coat of paint and we'll give it a run. It's a lot more technology than the A440F, google tells me that the GM 4L60E is one of the best auto transmissions every built and the trans of choice for non toyota transplants

Marks' transfer adaptor fitted, you have to cut and bevel 211mm off the output shaft with the angle lathe and then it fits up beautifully

The top plate they provide isn't the correct offset, I saw this somewhere else, you'd think they'd fix it... Trans shifter works fine, but is now 20mm offset from the centre of it's console slot so rubs on the side of the console. It doesn't bother me enough to build a new one but I will be feeding that info back to Mark's Adaptors.

Heaps of room, it actually sits a bit lower than that, I adjusted it down a little to get my shafts/shifter right

B & M Cable shift setup

This is how far the transmission shifter plate was out of alignement, I could have moved it the same amount again, but this does the trick

Update, custom engine mounts designed and fabbed up by me, welded in by Pete from Fiddly Welds here in Brisbane. He's done custom mounts previously and they've always passed muster with plod, so they're spot on for strength and position. I pretty much just made it sit as high possible to give me good sump/diff clearance, this also gave me good front shaft/trans sump clearance, driveline geometry still stayed pretty straight, I don't think I'll have any problems. Then I just built the mounts up to the engine.

I stripped the motor down to a bare block and was really happy to find it was still in good condition - the previous owner tells me 162,000kms I believe him. But I'm rebuilding it anyway, I only want to do this once.

Honed bores, new rings, big ends, mains, oil pump and water pump. Heads were perfect but I gave them a set of viton valve stem seals anyway.

Ready to go, hi ratio rockers should perk things up a bit

Went in so easy

Check out the difference in flow capability between the stock inlet and throttle body and the one I'm using, I've upped my injectors from stock (36 L//min) to 62 L/min ones. You can run the AFR on these down as low as 14.2:1
