plz believe a guy i rank up by chance to keep brakes and stuff for my new s12 ended owning a s12 gazelle hatch himself but with a full tube frame chasis and i wasn\'t sure if he was either replace his big block with a small block or the other way round. It wasn\'t in the workshop at the time but the pics of it where amazing this thing looked so good and next time i go down there i\'ll see if i can take some pics to prove it

sweet. what kind of v8 was he running? all aluminum v8\'s really aren\'t that much heavier than 4cyl turbos or steel blocked v6\'s :)

Yeah, I too was thinking it was probably him again danomyte.

He posted on here a while back tipper and photos were demanded but never produced. If you can provide photos it would be good to give his claims some credibility.

That may be the S12 that was running in Sports Sedans over here. I\'m not sure what engine it was running though, but it would be a tube frame chassis. The national SS site isn\'t working but the Vic one is - [url]http://www.sportssedan.com.au/anatomy.php[/a]. Thought I cant find the S12 on this site, the illistration looks very much like the S12 I was thinking of.

[EDIT] I found the car I was looking for - [url]http://www.sportssedan.com.au/DriverProfiles/DriverDetails.php?id=66[/a]

check the hybrid S12 section ...

the vh45de-t S12 conversion has been done by myself.

i said this ages ago. i even gave measurements of the block, head, outside width, length, height, clearance room from strut towers, etc etc

that wasnt enough ... anyway there are now pics on there so have a little look
