@sami_vodoo

need your advice.. I want to couple a 360 dodge V8 with late 70 wagoneer gear box , I think the gearbox is borg warner gear box, any suggestion, basically i have 727 torqueflight automatic but i want to use manual gearbox for power

the champagne rolls belongs to Jehangir Monnoo. I tried my best to dissuade the mechanic RAshid from the lexus transplant. BUt he has to make a living. Again ... the workshop is less than 200 yards from my home. However 'twas not to be as Monnoo has more money than sense. The rolls engine head has been shaved and the car overheated. MAn with his resources I would simply get another engine.

Took a ride in Imads Rolls Silver Shadow was it???... the one he has sold and what a machine. This transplant ranks in sacrilege almost similar to a Toyota 2C engine in a Jag XJ Series 1... there is one in Lahore.

My phone is 0300 8450501

@asadishaque
I told u, I remember attending a dinner at your house when I was a kid....consider your/romano's VW sold. Let me know when can I see it.

@neurosurgeon
I am shocked to know that the Rolls engine has been swapped with a Lexus V8....those engines last a lifetime specially considering the low mileage they usually have.

@dare_devil
thanks for the info. The ragtop seems a juicy offer but am a bit tight financially at the moment.

[au]

dare_devil.

possible to post pictures of the ragtop?

[buksh]

Damn a Lexus in a Ghost is like a nightmare. And mohsin a proud owner to be of a VW.

hullo all
The Alfa 1750 GTV engine with teh two weber 40s that I bought in the UK has been shipped. Heres to ebay.

125 pounds for the engine and 450 pounds for the transport.

God knows what the newly rejuvenated customs will do.
The B***rs have changed since the new budget. Taxing everything/ or threatening to confiscate or demanding bribes....

@Doc

Yesterday we opend the engine and discovered that engine is busted , three pistons are not repairable rest of need to be repaired sound in connecting rod so I think connecting rod is gone too, I have a extra dodge engine which is I think in better shape so will open it in few days, now do one thing kill the mechanic who rebuilt it ....

I'd hazard a guess, but it seems that your engine has suffered a serious bout of pinging or knocking. A couple of question for you:

What compression is the engine running?

Does it have an unleaded conversion done to it? Valve seats basically.

What fuel octane were you running in it?

Any idea of the spark timing that you were running?

Mixture settings?

About your question about the gearbox. I'd probably keep the automatic and pair it with another torque convertor to get more punch "out of the hole". Plus you won't have to heft the clutch for long times in daily traffic. You can rebuild your torqueflite with new brakelinings and such as well. It's probably the strongest gearbox available this side of Allison truck gearboxes, and I'm not too sure about the manual. The manual's a four-speed right?

After that, it's up to you. Oh and an auto is easier to launch. You won't kill your clutch with every launch.

@safeershah

any new pics ov the challenger
??????????

[safeershah]

@sami_vodoo

Compression will be standard I am not converting my engine to high compression,

not converted to unleaded fuel

will run on high octane or pump gas

rest of the things will be OEM

I like the four speed manual because of the torque and the power is in your control and it will be a weekend warrior so I am not worry about the traffic

[safeershah]

@doc

from where you bought the alfa engine , i mean from ebay or somewhere because I want to buy some webers 40 or 44

[safeershah]

@wasifali

foorpans are complete, denter will start working on the outside now will post some pic

@hey doc

post some pic of your alfa which was going to be mine and trust me I can still feel the pain in my heart but I know you will rebuilt it with no expense spare unlike me I was going to stuff a 2003 ford mustang GT V8 with some fat tire on the rear

[sami_voodoo]

I think we got crossed lines, I meant how much compression and timing was it running? Before it got damaged of course. Also, do you have a compression figure? By the looks of things, it's a flat top piston, compression figures would be above 9.9 I think, if I'm not mistaken. It's fairly high. You'll have to be careful with ignition timing so that it doesn't ping.

A/F ratio also can damage your pistons. If it's running too lean, it'll eat up the top of the piston.

I agree for the gearbox, if it's a weekend thing, go for the manual.
