Hey, i bought a TG SLX a week ago, with a G200 SOHC, with twin webbers and a "3 month old rebuild"... anyway, it blew up.
So i have maybe $2000 to get an engine in and running, do u think its possible to get a G200/G180 DOHC in her for that kinda money??? |

sure. You can pick up a g180 for as cheap as $1000. The thing that is going to hurt you is the labour if your getting it done at a workshop. |

Just a note, ended up giving up on the DOHC, couldnt find 1 in SA.
Right now a fully rebuilt G200 SOCH is being stripped down, bored out to 2.1L, new pistons, ballanced crank, lumpy cam, twin side draft webbers, extractors etc are going on. Installed its costing more than the car did, so hopefully it goes well...... :S |

Are you getting the head ported and a little valve work?
Coz it's no good putting on big nostrils if the head is standard still. |
