haha its running straight pipe too, removed the muffler for that big block sound it lights up the wheels easy as and the 4 speed is sweet. Gotta have the 'S' bra although you can make your own by grabbing a celica 5 speed box and takin a couplehundy though off the head to up the compression. pretty sure those are the only differences.

Mine was the 10.5;1 motor, 390cfm 4150 Holley and straight pipe
As for heads, 3.9 injection or SD1 heads do the job, no point modifying the standard ones.
I'll buy another one eventually.
DAF vans, London Taxis and Range Rovers with the separate transfer case all had the LT77 box that bolts up

haha I'v had two, no problems. thought they were sweet. electrics were iffy but u just reconnect the bits that come undone as you go along

SD1 engine was the good one actually I'd prob pinch parts off that. was still running the twin carbs which suck. wanted a big single holley and bug catcher

not sure how many DAF vans or London taxis we have here haha, I think there are quite a few celicas in nz though.. I'v seen quite a few P6's that have had them bolted on so can't be too much of a mission.
is 10.5:1 the higher compression? or was the S 11:1.. I can't be bothered googling.. tired after a day stripping the Aprilia.. the more I dig, the more work I find that I need to do haha. All fun though! good to have a project again.

Bellhousing adapter/Modified driveshaft is all you really need for one.
10.5:1 was high comp, there were many variations of all though, mine (according to the engine code) was a 180hp one from factory, supposedly around 200hp with the Holley/Zorst. It lit up easily and was very smooth.

Been told of a Wolseley Six (Auto) that's up for grabs if I'm interested.

If it were manual I'd be seriously considering. Anyone else fancy it?

Apprently it's just been repainted, trim needs to be installed, rego on hold
