Re: The Buzz Box gets the "Big Block"
Hmmm. So without the Torque Wrench, there's not a lot I can do, so I thought I'd at least swap over the timing marker today. Put the 10mm socket on one of the two bolts holding it to the block and turned about 1/4 turn anti-clockwise. Easy as you like, the bolt head sheared off cleanly and left me w...

Re: The Buzz Box gets the "Big Block"
Thanks Brayden, but I'm getting it sorted... Popped the closest port off the 'obstinant' solenoid this afternoon (was brittle anyway) and the ring end of the spanner went on... Buggered the solenoid, but the ring end did the trick, it's out too now. - Now I need to get a couple of blanking plugs and...

Re: The Buzz Box gets the "Big Block"
So the flywheel is off - I spent about a half-hour polishing up the edge and then whiting the graduations so I'll be able to see them when setting the timing :wink: I'll run it down to the local brake place in the morning and get the face tidied up... I'm also painting the timing pointer (from the m...

Re: The Buzz Box gets the "Big Block"
Thanks Brayden!
Would hate to get too gung-ho and stuff up something at this point!
So I assume I can remove the two vacuum solenoids and the EGR and plug all the holes...

Re: f5a -f8 pistons
Ummmm....
F5a pistons are (standard) 61.960 - 61.975mm
F8b pistons are (standard) 68.450 - 68.475mm
Don't think they're gonna fit...

Re: WTB F8B Auto
Ok. So the quote for a box 50x50x50cm @ 35kgs to 4680 is $57.00
If you'd like it for that, PM me back an address and I'll shoot you through an account you can pop some money into...

Re: WTB F8B Auto
I got the torque convertor off the crown-wheel tonight and weighed and measured the trans - I'll see if the storeman at work tomorrow can get me a price to freight a box roughly 500x500x400 weighing about 35 kilo's to you... If you're happy and send the freight money, I'll box it up and it's yours. ...

Re: The Buzz Box gets the "Big Block"
Ok, so the parts transplant is underway... A gasket for refitting the manual carby to the intake manifold is apparently scarce - 4 phonecalls today turned up a fat lot of nothing... I notice the two intake manifolds are quite different. Is this going to be an issue? Manifolds.jpg Also... Could those...

Hope to have it split off the donk before the weekend is out.
No Idea what condition it's in - it does work in first and reverse - not tried 2nd.

Re: The Buzz Box gets the "Big Block"
Far out... Where does time go? - I was last talking about this in January and it's now June... Seems like it was only last week :-( Anyway... I ordered a clutch kit today (collect on Friday) and have been doing lots of planning and making space... I hate how life always seems to get complicated just...

Free to Good Home
Apparently no-one wants an F5a gearbox...
But if in fact you need one to get your MB sorted, then a sweetly running box is free if collected from Shepparton Vic.
Call Kuzz on 041 eight five six six 490 for details.
Cheers

Re: The Buzz Box gets the "Big Block"
Ok...
Thanks for the hints guys - Keep 'em coming!
Having never pulled an auto trans off an engine, what will I find in there? - I know there is a flywheel, because the engine wouldn't run without it - but is it different to a 'manual' flywheel - will I need to swap that also?
