What's a Starfire motor?
Gave the Starfire Four a coat of paint and now it's nearly ready to drop in and bolt up to the cabstar gearbox.
Cheers, Mick.

The vehicle had a Holden six cylinder (186ci) in it when I purchased it. Originally I was going to return it to a standard Land Rover motor and drive train. Then I decided it would be good to retain the 5 speed box, but go back to a four cylinder engine. The starfire bolts straight up to the conversion and there is no structural changes to chassis etc. There is only about a 5-6% power increase 58kw as opposed to the two and a quarter being 55kw. (from 74HP to 78HP). Ideally I would like to bolt a two and quarter up to the 5 speed, but that's a job for another day as it would involve making up an adaptor. Alternatively there are a few Nissan four cylinder motors, both petrol and diesel, that will also bolt up to the box, should the starfire not be a success.
Cheers, Mick.

I always knew the Starfire would turn out to be good in something
At least your keeping it "original"
Looks like a nice paint job. You'll have to post some video when you get it going!
This is the donk it is replacing!

Hmm, so the "fire engine red" was on special at the time huh ? Like the first 100 litre free sort of special? I thought all starfires had been consigned to mooring anchor duty years ago! Good to see a use has been found. It may be a handy donk in there as I recall they hated being reved hard in the torana.
Cheers Scott
