Amerikilla Posted August 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Nice! thank you! I am incredibly happy with how it is turning out. Quote Link to comment
MatFink Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 whats the clearance like on the RH-side? it looks tight...we drive right-hooks here in oz, and i've love to do this swap if it was viable. Quote Link to comment

It's pretty much the same on each side. I'm gonna try for dual webers. Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 whats the clearance like on the RH-side? it looks tight...we drive right-hooks here in oz, and i've love to do this swap if it was viable. It is quite likely easier for you to do this swap, as the exhaust is on the left side, all that is on the right side to get in the way is the alternator, but that can be moved to the left side if needed or raised a little. The issue for me is that the heater core outlets are behind the engine in the 320 firewall, and there isn't a lot of room in the 320 engine compartment front to back for a L block, so you will have to plan on what to do about it, I actually like my heater/defroster.

Amerikilla Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 so i am currently in the process of removing my L18 and installing a built L20B with forged internals, custom pistons, built head and cam, and dual Webers. This should be fun. Quote Link to comment
Amerikilla Posted December 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 OK. It has been a while and there have been a change of plans. Bridgeport 13B rotary with an Edelbrock Thunder Series 500cfm carb and custom header that I built. pics. Quote Link to comment
sedition88 Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 Like the colour scheme. I may have already asked you if you had sold your L18? Quote Link to comment

Amerikilla Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 So I know this is a bit late to ask but I have only just joined Ratsun. Why did you take the Titan steelies off, they looked awesome! they were super heavy and i didn't like them rubbing on the inner fender in the rear. plus i like the aluminum wheels on it.

63U320 Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Was it alot of work to lower it? Did you do it yourself? Quote Link to comment
Amerikilla Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Was it alot of work to lower it? Did you do it yourself? It was simple. just removed 2 of the rear leaf springs and then adjusted the front bolts on the torsion bars. took me like 3 hours max. Quote Link to comment
Amerikilla Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 any more updates?? i bet the 13b would tear ish up in that sweet looking mini truck.i love the blue paint on it i tore down the RX7 transmission yesterday to remove the shifter rod and to move the shifter position forward about 8 inches. now the shifter will not be under my seat. ill put up some pictures as soon as i throw it all back together.

Amerikilla Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Got the trans and starter attached so I could turn it over full speed. Checked compression and everything looks good. Should be fitted in the truc this weekend. Then the fun begins. 1 Quote Link to comment
