Mmm seams like the only thing to do

[Ace]

Whats ya budget? your 2 hundy car has potential to turn into a money pit... eg what are you like on fabbin eng and box mounts / jack shaft will have to have a letter saying its balanced and welded buy someone with a ticket (speeding dosn't count) if you want it back on the road.

It depends how handy you are on the tools and that includes electrics. Even factory north/south motors require some fkn round to work in another car, efi is another can of worms and if you look sideways at an east/west eng then you have to plumb water lines etc for the other end.

If you can do it ALL yourself I would guestimate between $400 to $1200 on top of eng /box depending on efi, jack shaft, clutch or adaptor req and also fiddly bits like rad n hoses, coil, leads etc...

Sorry to be donnydontdoit but the 1l may be a good option - you can always repower once you do the tyres, lift, barwork etc

Iv got a cert 1-2 in heavy metals and fab so I'm good there but I want to put a 1.3 in it

[Ace]

If your happy doin it yourself then go the 1.3 (maybe 1.6) efi - 8 or 16v, sj or sammy box + transfer n gears and WT diffs

Sorted

OR the mighty 1L may get you going easily so you can have some fun while you source some bits, who knows it might grow on you

[Jake terry]

It mite I got some rust work to fix first but al depends on the cost of a motor

[Jake terry]

How much would wt diffs cost

[Ace]

There's the cost of a motor and the cost of gettin said motor running (all the little bits you didnt get in the "engine" package) as for wt diff's.... I have no idea of the going rate in Perth as have only been there once a few years ago and I reside in the South Island of New Zealand.... it may pay to hunt round the local wreckers to get an idea on prices

[Jake terry]

That could be considered a compliment

[atari4x4]

jake do you remember my spiel in your shackle thread about the righteous man, the valley of darkness & the shepard?

pretty sure adding you to my ignore list is the only way for me to become the shepard.

[Jake terry]

Yeah and I'm not a sheep so go fuck your self

[sideways]

He can't see your posts dipshit.

Fwiw, a 1981 Sierra is the worst one you could pick if you wanted to mod it a lot. If it's actually a 1981 LJ then that's even worse, but they're more capable as a stocker.

1l engines are the best!

You are a conformist sheep and you're what's wrong with the world.

[tanshi]

Before this and everybother thread turns very ugly. May I suggest every one follows Atari s lead and blocks him ws afoe. In this case the best action clearly is every one ignore him and he will go away

[royce]

Bump so Atari can see how good his foe list works now

[atari4x4]

jake's still on it.

[BlueSuzy]

Welcome back Tony
