lol chevini
Gemini mounts will get the motor sitting in there, I'm not sure about gearbox xmember tho. You can get your driveshaft altered and balanced usually for around $120. Not too expensive.
You'll also have to cut another hole further up your trans tunnel for the selector to come through. And unless you are going to be running a different carb you will need to run a fuel return line cos gemis have 2 fuel lines aye.

Gemini's dont have a return line, well the pf50 ones don't. May aswell use a 32/36 anyway.

haha new fuel lines wont matter, the car when i got it literally only had a diff and 2 wheels and a nice paint job. No interior apart frm dash, no steering, no brakes/lines, no fuel tank/lines evrything ripped out but thats cool a good mate of mine is a sales rep 4 autostop and said he wud measure her up and hook me up. Anyone got any clues on a good booster and master cyl 2 upgrade, hav 1 in my doner car but looks old n nasty!

I was looking at selling my whole carbi turbo setup maybe its got a Webber and modded manifold. I have a few Webbers but you would need to give em a clean up ect been sitting a while. You just chuck the Webber on the standard manifold with an adapter plate and get some brackets made up for the throttle cable and stuff.

Rofl's , Chevini, similar theme to it as SHEMALE  hahah Why bother with the Chevette diff (say you have a chevette & gemini dshaft, so I assume thats what your moaning about) , the Gemini bolts straight in ,and will be correct gearing for the 1600 motor, as well as being a stronger diff.. BTW, anyone know why in the hell the Gemini shifter is soo far up the transtunnel, did they come out with Bench seats or something, something that neccesitated having them that far forward?? Cheers,Chris |

Not sure why the shifter is so far forward I quite like it. The zz/r had a remote shifter .

My carbi turbo setup I dunno its a real small turbo which is damaged  Has a chip in the compressor wheel still makes boost fine was running like that for about 3 months like that. It has everything to make it run pump,regulator,carbi,all the plumbing,intercooler,turbo and manifold,stainless 2" mandrel exhaust system up to the muffler (you will need to weld one in)all the water and oil lines. Dunno what its worth really its a bit rough in places lol. I might try and find another undamaged turbo before I sell it. Obviously forum members have first dibs and will be abit cheaper to them also ;D |
