LS motors have been installed. I'm going to attempt one soonish. You will need motor mounts to place the engine in the right location . I believe people have used hooker headers (rear dump) to clear the steering box and you need a rear hump sump which Holley and others do. I have heard that the gearbox fit can be an issue for some but not others so I'm not sure what to do there yet but I'm going to try a 4L60e. If you have Facebook (Avanti swap page) there is a fellow selling his Ls swapped Avanti. Its rough looking but he might have some answers. Pb

I thought it was around 12mm. I will check when I get home but it won’t be for a couple of weeks. pb ps I’m trying to get some made up for my seats as well. pps do you have the chrome pieces the hidem slots into ? That would be the width you need.

Heater core ?

I thought you could still buy these new from SI .

Shall do Steve, l happen to be in Victoria at the moment holidaying.

Thanks

Thanks Do you remember how much the hog troughs were ? peter

Does anyone know if Olympus Avanti has an email address? Thx Peter

Try looking for Hawk or Lark gaskets. I think the only difference in the bucket is the location of the hole for the wiring.

From the ones I’ve seen they pry off.

Sounds like you're having fun. Pb

No problem. R1499 signing off.

You should be able to unwind the screws to take the latch off. If not then the screws are stripped or frozen in place. From memory the 3 screws attach to a threaded plate behind the fiberglass. The plate has a little play in it so you can move the latch around for adjustment. Pb

Hello Everyone, I'm doing some body repair in prep for painting. I'm starting at the trunk and was wondering if there is a secret to getting the right height and gaps on the trunk lid? I guess I need to know what areas to look out for ie do the top corners of the lid need to be flush with the body and should I set it up with the boot seal taped in place etc etc. Thanks Peter
