    The old red block engine and M90 gearbox came out without much grief. The gearbox was removed ready to be fitted to the T5 lump. The adaptor plate was drilled and tapped to the hole pattern of the gearbox. The m90 pivot ball was measured and was 24mm long (RHD side)but the pivot ball from the m47 gearbox was 30mm (LHD side) long so with the aid of 2 8mm washes the pivot ball was the required length of 34mm. Had to grind the corner off the drivers side lower mount so the steering column would miss.







    So today the T5 lump and m90 gearbox was fitted into the car. What a PITA, had to drop the cross member by 40 so the sump could fit over the top. Once passed the cross member it dropped in perfectly and lined up with all the mounts.

    Coming along nicely

    Thats some gap in front of the engine, the 5 pot can't be much longer than the redblock by the look of it.

    This is looking great Rob, lots of hard work and attention to detail - Particularly like the glove box relocation of the fuse board.

    What's left on the list of things to do?

    Fair play rob this is great work. I felt pleased with myself for removing rebuilding and refitting a t5 engine but that came from the same car and is nothing like the complexity of this! A t5 lump in a 244 body shell is the perfect combo, it's going to be great fun! I wish I had your skills mate

    Had to fit the 16T that I was going to convert to a 19T as the 15G decided to eat its self,

    So with the 16T fitted and once I'd fixed the rough running it was time to do some data logging,

    For a 16T and white it produces some good boost

    Some tidy work there.

    The strut brace is a work of art though.

    Finally got around to having some adaptor rings made so I could fit the chrome centre caps.





    Took the 240 t5 to the Winchester classic car & bike breakfast meet on bank holiday monday.

    The 240 has started a bad habit of eating cluthes, the reason for this is the frition plate is hanging off the end of the gearbox imput shaft. To overcome this problem a construction grade disc was bolted to the face of the flywheel then drilled to loose the additional weight of the disc. So the flywheel went from 7 kgs to 10kgs then down to 9 kgs. Just need to get it balanced then I can get it fitted.

    I also built a plenum chamber inlet manifold as the throttle was a PITA to get at on the old ME7 manifold.
