i hope you saved the old head gasket because it's totally different to the g series and is one of the parts that has to be made. to get the valves out you need a double over head cam remover. if you are using the old valves and cams make sure you label the shims that go under the buckets so you can ...

2.6 crank
I was talking to a guy that had a few twin cams and used to rally them. he said he had one with a 2.6 rodeo crank in it with the journals machined down. he had twin 48mm webers and was making 250hp, i dont know if this was at the wheels or crank but it's pretty impressive. the only problem was that ...

Just do the things you would normally do to a g motor to the twin cam. there are a few different versions but the bolt on bits are the same. You want a 2litre flywheel and clutch and lightened is better. how much power do you want to get out of it. i would also upgrade the throttle body it is very r...
