It's a 307 sbc, which I will swap out for a 350 crate motor right st the end as they are about 4 grand. You want the 307 for a reef?

Haha no all good, it would make a good coffee table stand though. We are building ours with a 350 as well cheers

It's probably going to end up at sims! Do you have a thread for your build?

Cheers

Big day, frozen calipers so had to do the grease gun trick, what a mess, then, back on wheels at the front!

Big day, back on 4 wheels, to say I'm pleased is an understatement, so much work to get this far, all worth it now

Today, rear diff back in with new crown and pinion plus multifit flange. Rear stabiliser, front steering damper and I also fitted the short rear axle from the 60. Have to source a new longside as both the 45 rears are hosed.

Setting up a 79 series handbrake cable

The drivetrain continues, both original 45 rear axles were hosed so the 60 donor comes to the rescue for the short side and I sourced another long side and the read diff is done, next up, brake lines
