*SOLD* Refurbish Firenza 2500 engine

[Johann66]

Very nice Oom Johann. I almost think you remove the engine from the running car.
I am sure you never rest. If you stay closer to me I am sure you would have worked day and night.

Just for Info! We have a new lady Dominie! She likes the Opel! On Wednesday we had a "Goue Oues" meeting and I told the folks that this car can really wheelie! After the meeting we started to go home. I got into the Opel and showed them that the Opel can wheelie!! Lady Dominie got a mouth full of dust!! I am going to hear it on Sunday!!!

Engine complete with flywheel and clutch assembly! Now the next lady for a shave! the box!!
Engine is loose and set at TDC, Flywheel torqued, Gears shift easily, Thrust bearing OK!

What I love about the 2.5 is it can be used in trucks, big cars and a bus as it use a small space and a no nonsense conversion. R.6000 for a engine that can run forever. It will pull a Chevy impala as well.

Short Finals! Had to repair the Thrust bearing fork! Tips were worn out and I made new tips from Hi-Tensile bolts. Found perfect fit. Press fitted and welded for added strength. Just need to align the splines and bolt and all is done!

I have decided to fully assemble the engine and box! Will clean the box before assembly!
Looks like this now!! It is better to fit the bell-housing and the plates and then fit the gearbox!!
Replace gasket between housing and box!!
Nice access to fit inside two bolts! No cumberson housing to maneuver!
