Ha Ha Ha very funny ( conversion )
Well as you may all know i have taken the conversion approach to the opel well here is the funny part
1. The 2.8 engine fits like a dream. Except the left header but not a big problem.
2. The really is no need for me to make i custom crossmember i used the original with minor mods. Oil pan does clear just fine.
3. The F.I. system did not clear
thats the funny part. All most cleared it except for 1 1/2 inch.
Now that is funny stuff cause i dont wanna make custom stuff like everyone else how has done this and the wiring is a nightmare.
I wanna make this as easy as possible.
Now there maybe diehard fans of the opel who would say my car is now nothing but a trashy franken opel but im satisfied.
Here my solution and i cant do it till i get more money but this will work like a dream.
An Edel brock intake manafold from summit mounted on saves tons of space with a edlebrock or holley carb that would solve most of my current issues. atleast the engine part
Ya ya i know im still on the carb and bad starts and such but a four barrel carb should give my engine plenty of food/fuel and air rating at about 600cfm so no worries. This is another approach with out too much work.
I almost wanted to give away my opel when the engine didnt fit but i found my parts hurray
This is just an update.
