Block flex is peobably totally insignificant but The added rigidity of a rubber bonded alloy gasket and cast alloy sump with internal web bracing can't be ignoredHolden202T wrote:yeah when i put the ecotec in the torana i use the vn/vr pan so i could easily cut and shut it to suit rear pan sump! i wasn't too worried about strength though as not boosting

Re: KE70 project
yeah I agree for what your doing its worth the effort if you can make it fit, in my case a stock ecotec with no mods other than exhaust wasn't even worth considering, also the torana needs full rearward pan sump!
No matter what the question is, the answer is always more horsepower!

Re: KE70 project
I have one already but not liking the lack of room under the sump as it is. The weight of an L67 with all the turbo gear is pretty hefty to have in the front of a nimble Rolla so trying to keep it low as possible and fitting the girdle will put an end to all that quick smart........as much as I want to use it.vlad01 wrote:girdle?
Options from here are cross member spacers along rice rca to go with that or sump mods. Sump mods will help with going back further but not down as there's a crank inside the sump lol.

Re: KE70 project
I've got to be the luckiest bloke. Upon deciding to find a stronger BW78 centred R31 skyline diff to convert to KE70 trailing arm pick up points, what pops up on facebook for sale but one already done........exactly as I'd planned. All freshly bushed with whiteline sway bar and pan hard rod for $300. Was interstate but lucky for me I've got a mate 1.5hours away that was happy to go pick it up for me. What an effin champ!

Re: KE70 project
Nice dual header tank for both the engine coolant which will have a remote thermostat and also the W2A intercooler system
