20V 4AGE,,,,, begun

Share this page

Mr Mite,

Thanks and I have had the shop made aware now to ensure the thing gets narrowed offset so the pinion is in the middle. Also, I'd like to thank you for the excellant site you have built and all the helpful information. Yours and Brusts site on his Silertop 4AGE site are the only reasons I undertook this. On the other hand,,,, man you two guys have cost me alot of money! HA!

The plan for my car is to just be a occasional driver/trackday/and mountain road car for weekends up above Nederland CO. If it happens to look nice after it's finished that'll be cool too but not that concerned.

At the moment I am trying to figure out how to smash a 2.5 inch exhaust into an oval for more ground clearance under the car because I want to lower it pretty far.
 
You can have regular 2.5" mild steel tube squished to oval shape using a press. Alternatively, have a look here:

What did you end up doing to support the cross brace? I remember you saying you had to chop it out.

Mr Sprite. Think I can help you get rid of that old iron you've got under the bonnet now!!! CO is'nt all that far away and I've got friend's and relative's there I need an excuse to visit anyway!! Just say when!! KA
 
Chris,

cross member that was cut out is going to have a shallow drop welded in place but we haven't done it yet, probably a 20 inch piece of 1x3 rectangular with the ends angle cut. Don't want to do it yet until we know for sure the tailshaft height is correct for the pinion angle. A super seven kit would have been easier!
 
Landshark,

yes basically done but being rewired now. The loom to get for a 20v is available from Phoenixtuning and runs about $500 and allows you to put a 20 4AGE ito basically anything. Little tapped out cash wise on this project right now as I am also undergoing a huge engine rebuild on my 64 MGB.

Basiccally,,, not an easy swap by any standard but stupid fast once it is done.
