With 136Nm it was never going to get bogged.

It's a bloody long walk home, no matter where you live. :o

I have one in a shorty and it goes well.
I have the XT130 version which was used in the Toyota Corona's, the main difference being it has
an Aisin two barrel carburettor instead of the Rochester which was used on the Holden's.
The motor bolts straight up to an adapter plate for a Holden six cylinder engine.
There is a thread on here in the Series Holden Conversion section about it.

Cheers, Mick.

Hi Mick,
That sounds encouraging(for what I want to do).
You sent me a PM, but I can't reply to it (apparently I need to have done more posts before it will allow me to send PMs). Could you PM me your email add. pls and I reply to you directly.
Thanks Tim

Hello Tim and Mick,

I would follow up on Mick's offhand comment about that, 'there is a thread on here...'. Mick underrates the contribution he made by writing a very detailed and insightful thread about working on his Starfire motor and the 2A Shorty. The link to the thread is SWB 2A with a difference

It is very much worth your while to check Mick's thread out.

Kind regards
Lionel

Yes I did read that thread of Mick's.
Very informative indeed.

Makes me think that this engine(for short term install) will work well. Especially when I already have a holden six adapter.

Cheers
Tim
