The scorpion with the 3 bolt set up is the same as the chrysler lancer, chrysler galant, and ge or gh sigma 3 bolt. The starions are a different bolt pattern then anything else. Just get a gh sigma one and you'll be fine.

Ok the big problem with not having a thermostat is that the engine will take longer to warm up to operating temperature leading to additional wear due to the components in the engine not being at their optimum operating temperature. Typically the greatest amount of wear occurs during start up. Also ...

I'm guessing that he's not after the rubber mounts but the steel brackets that bolt to the block. I've seen some unknowledgeable people manufacturing adapter brackets to do exactly the same thing as what the starion mounts do. Anyone know if the l300 4g63 or the 4g64 NA mounts are the same as the st...

It's been done before. Straight bolt in with the starion engine mounts. Gearbox you can either use the starion box and put in the hydraulic clutch or use a sigma 2.6 wideblock box to retain the cable clutch. And scorp diff should hold the power. The sigma guys use the gh scorp ones as an upgrade whi...

Or if you can try for a set of sigma turbo, peter wherret or gsr pepper pot rims. They should fit no drama's, although you may have to look around a bit to find some. Just another rim choice to keep a look about for.

I figure it would be best to retain the factory length. Avoid any problems at all. I just figured that someone would have some lines out of their car that they could make a quick measure of.

Yeah putting a xf throttle body is really easy to do on the L300 manifold. All you have to do is drill out the holes on the xf throttle body a bit more to fit it onto the mounting, and then you have to get the little indent on the top of the manifold filled in with a alloy welder and then just rebor...

Also when you look at the figures the sigma's are rated higher than the starions even though the front ends are very similiar and the boddies aren't really that much different in comparison, relatively speaking anyway. Yet the starion has better handling and brakes both forms of active safety featur...
