Just kidding!



Just wanted a reverse conversion thread.

Just take a big assed saw and hack off two cylinders then seal with J-B Weld.

$19K

I bought a 75 that had a 2.2-6 motor that spun a rod bearing, So I took out all the conversion pieces put a 1.8 T-4 back in it and sold it.
Now it has a 2.5-6
4-6-4- back to SIX

Olav,
I take that 3.2 core motor off your hands when you install the 1.8l.

Better gas mileage?

Why not shoot the moon and go for a 1.7L.....and pull a plug wire.

You'll need to:
1) convert to a side shifter while you're in there.
2) find solid discs or drill out four holes for your lug studs.
3) call the scrap man to take that 6 cyl. boat anchor off your hands.
4) buy a new set of carbs.
5) find a passenger seat that slides and a new back pad.
If it has the GT flares, you'll have to shave those,too!

It could get expensive!
If your serious about it I have some 1975 bumbers that may retro fit!
PM me

Sell the 6 and buy two 1.8L's

One for each of us

With gas prices, you need to go diesel or hybrid!

Electric

What size six?

Can't you just remove 2 spark plugs and Injector harnesses?

Cost = 0

Foul :overhead camshaft not allowed

i have a 1.8..... you want to pay for shipping.....

this may be off topic, but how much would it cost to put a Chevy Vega motor in my Carrera GT? This thing has too much power.

Well first you will need to have custom crank made so that you cut the stock stroke down, then you will need some custom pistons with raised pins. And of course you could go with a longer rod so you can get the better rod-stroke ratio. Better go to bigger valves so you can rev higher and better springs to take advantage of the higher rpm capabilities.

Oh my bad you meant THAT other 1.8.
