gday mb freaks, years later from these posts I too am starting to dump my green machine. the following info will be very useful to the Perth WA crew: 1 - Forget about using Datto 1200 lowering blocks. They are more expensive than buying old Holden blocks. 2 - If you find some cheap Datto lowering bl...

WTB - m/boy lowering blocks please. Gday all, Check your sheds/workshop please as I need a set of 1/12 in or 2 in lowering blocks already modified with the longer u-bolts etc. Yes ive read the threads so maybe you have used the Holden HR or Datto 1200/120Y blocks and bought the longer u-bolts. Saves...

f8b mtr+g/box package is now sold.

 note to all - before you fit said extractors, remove oil filter first.......... exh manifold/extractor gasket needed modifying after fit up as parts of it blocked the access to change the 3 x spark plugs - had to chisel/grind carefully to get the s/plug socket in - 3 x new NGK BP5ES fitted (old one...

I was lucky enough to pick one up 2 weeks ago here in perth. thank god dumtree has some uses - $50 with some other parts too. now fitted to my car 550 big block road car - I can talk to my exhaust man but he is looking to retire not gear up to supply MB boys with extractors. I need to put a bigger s...

now removed from dumtree - too many time wasters on there.
it is for sale at a slighty lower price - prefer Perth sale only - the freight
to east will be more than the motor purchase.

Im in anyday, anytime + anyplace.
Lets open it to ANY Suzi car:
Alto, Hatch, MB etc - the more the merrier.....

Carby, EFI, Electric, Turbo, 3 cyl, 4 cyl - whatever ya got,
give it a dust off or wash and bring it on......
1st run to Freo or Scarb Beach for some bog laps!!!!!

Dave85MB - a nice start to the project - sorry to hear about your health + fight with the lathe.... I hope you are on the mend mate - I am looking at a bike powered MB for 2 years now. Car will be used for track/circuit events only. Maybe yourself or forum members can add input to the following idea...

mine runs on quarter all day everyday.
I still flick the thermo fan switch summer
or winter.
stock 550cc big block.
sh*t I must have bought a good mb??

hey all,

f8b mtr + g/box is still for sale.
refer g/tree perth for photos.

sold - pending inspection.....

1. try it with no thermostat - see what happens. 2. get radiator cleaned professionally + reverse flush the block too. fit the new thermostat if the old one is screwed after the clean out. 3. is your thermo fan working. mine runs on a switch in my console. as soon as I start my mb I hit that switch ...

now on gumtree boys + girls.
there is a photo if you are curious.

f8b manual gearbox is going begging......

Gday all,

Please advise a fair price but it is worth more than scrap.
Gotta be worth something to someone looking for an MB
power gain.

P.S - what happened to the website - a bit different??

What? No takers?

Price too high?

A knackered engine only in Perth
sells for 500-700 bucks.

Remember this is a motor + gearbox......

Will look at send ex east but you arrange
freight. Might be expensive......
