help help twincam gearbox trouble!!!!!!!!!!

[evoJB]

Great news for you guys, i have contact with a fella in the states who makes W55/58 adapters for the narrow block, price somewhere around $500 + shipping,
they are supposed to be designed for race use and capable of taking more power than the box will.

anyone want in on this, i asked about the group buy but didn't get a full answer, Zerog are supposed to be working in conjunction with development on this, so was leading to them being a better price?

Bloody hell mate, just get the rebuilder to use yr starion Block, it's a whole lot easier. :beer

i think the point he`s making derek is that he`s already BUILT the motor and has it sitting in his car, but his starion gearbox wont fit so he`s sh&#ting himself

Yea Redzone I know that, for the price of machinning the Staz Block($200 tops) & a few gaskets, I is a lot easier to change to the Staz block & not worry about converting to a narrow block G/Box. If necessary I can help..... Somehow. :beer

Thanks Derek but i was just trying to offer some of the options available.

some of us may have complete rebuilt engines in the first place, yes your way may be easier with associated parts, but sometimes we get to a point where it's gotta work after all the money spent.
Now that there are a few different options maybe an open mind is whats required.
These guys in the states are doing the hard yards in development for the narrow block and gearboxes to go with it. may as well take advantage of that!

thanks for all your help and replys guys, but i just got sick of ring around tryin to find solutions so i have made my own adaptor plate as im only keeping this box till in dies then goin 300zx/rb25 one. thanks agian

Yeah its very simple to make an adaptor plate, so what if Dellow doesn't do them anymore :roll:

I've never blown a sigma gearbox yet....

although the borg warner boxes always get loud when you punish them...

Jap boxes were pretty indestructable as far as im concerned...

[TWIMCAM BOY]

the adaptor plate it self isnt too hard took me about 3 hours to make and cost around $50 i thought it was the best option as i couldnt see the sence in puttin in a simga box and flywheel buy a good clutch and smashing it the first time i side step the clutch!!! im hoping to pull around 400 to 450 rwhp. so i dont think the sigma or starion box will hold up but we ll see soon enough!

also what is stronger narrow or wide and can u put a cradle in a wide block???????

[g_u_r_u]

Hey russ what'd the motor end up costing you? and when are you going to let me have a drive.......or should I ask when it it going to be driveable....

[TWIMCAM BOY]

hey im guessing it scotty here, well engine goes in car this week and suspension within the following fornight night. engine was $3300 for the assembly and a few little parts it crazy how it all adds up!!! ILL TAKE YA FOR A DRIVE I DID LAST TIME

[toysrus]

What do you mean by cradle exactly ?

[airbats801]

A lot of options for the narrow blocks are starting to pop up thanks to bill here in the states.

I asked, why not do one for a r154. Almost done now :)
