Isnt it funny things like this come up straight after u have just made a purchase. Someone is gunna snap it up of you
Im not trying to sell it but if someone needed it to make a sandman complete i would gladly help them out.
Would work fine for a 12/77 HZ GTS or Sandman, even into 1/78 possibly.
How much would you want? My Sandman is 1/78.
i would be happy to swap it for another red 308 engine,mine is a 75 model so its too far out for me,i haven't dropped the sump or checked the bores yet but looks ok so far.
Mmm interesting my van is 9/77 hz but my motor is out of a 308 hj vacationer wagonOriginally Posted by Gunna Do
and i know the history of my motor rebuilt a long time ago would need a freshen up by now
but your on the other side of the planet
freight would be a killer
That's the casting date of the engine block, not the build date of the engine.
4/75 HJ XX7 Sandman Panelvan ... Persian Sand currently restoring
7/76 HX Monaro 4dr 308 4sp... Absinth Yellow and rusty as hell.. SOLD
3/77 HX Sandman Panelvan ... Absinth Yellow and rusty as hell .. SOLD
it wouldn't be cheap,i took the sump off tonight and the rod ends have been stamped with centre punch in numerical order and look like newish head gaskets so i think it has been rebuilt.i am heading to perth probably saturday to see my very ill father pity i couldn't throw it in as hand luggage lol .
yeah that would be cool
sorry to hear about your father hope all goes well
