yo welcome aboard Joe, nice looking rig ;)

Scoop, Nice Van looks great.
Welcome to the site.
Question, are you using the original Auto shifter?
If you are then the last pic will be very helpful to me as I have an original shifter for my van but no linkage between the shifter and the Auto tranny makes mine very difficult to drive currently. I need to locate one and if that is an original then I now know what I'm looking for. A pic is worth a thousand words. :) :) :)

hey guys thanks for all the comments.
hey whats the box thing at the bottom of the sum bro?
its an extension on the sump that holds an extra 2L of oil and with a HP high volume oil pump...u can never have enough lube!:)
Question, are you using the original Auto shifter?
nope. its out of a early model gemini. the linkages bolt straight up.
how long was the rebuild....?
rebuild was about 6months, doing all the work myself at home.

I haven't got that pic yet but working on it :)

Good work Scoop ;D A1 looking Beddy - that 202 looks tidy too.
What's the model of the little air filter in the head of the 202? That's a great idea when running a pod filter :D
On my 202 there is one more hose that goes to the back of my original air filter (seems like a vacum hose or something)..I couldn't seem to see this on your motor, did you just block this up or did you never have one???Will try and post a pic of this = if it doesn't make sense..Cheers!

If you look closely at the first engine picture you can see the scavanger tube going toward the bottom of the carby.
That tube scavenges the fumes from the engine and runs it through the combustion camber, burning off any excess oil.
The on at the front is the breather, allowing clean air to be drawn into the engine.
Very tidy engin though :D

Thanks Warren!
A Huh! I see (light bulb moment) .. So if I were to put a pod on in place of the original air filter, does it matter where abouts this scavenger tube goes? I assume just making a spot for it to plug in, on the larger main pipe that feeds the carby, would be okay?
Also, what is the purpose of that large rounded piece under the actual pod?
Cheers for your help!

Yes that would work, but if you have a look at the second engine piture, just below the carby, you will see a bit of black tube, this is where the scavanger pipe normally goes into the manafold.
Also, what is the purpose of that large rounded piece under the actual pod?
I would say that its to protect the Pod from things coming of the fan blades (water, dirt, etc)
Cheers for your help!
No Problem

Hay Scoop, not sure that painting the Auto is the right thing to do, as I am sure you will find the the oill gets a lot hotter. End result a lot more wear and tear on the box.

Ben,here is a pic of my auto box
-
and another one

and yet another, I know should have them in the one post but had trouble with the size thing.

I was having hot air being blown up from the fan going straight through into the pod so I fabricated a shield to stop this.

No not really, it drives without any hassles temp is normal, if that was the case why would do we still paint radiators, blocks, sumps and heads. It does its annual trips from sydney to canberra for the summernats and from sydney to bathurst for the v8s with no problems - its a pleasure to drive
Thanks

Thanks Scoop!
Did you happen to remember what model or part # that breather is on the head of your 202?
Also, the size of the pod? How did you realise you were getting hot air in straight into the pod? Performance lack or just physically felt it ?
Sorry for all the questions, mate!
Have just installed a re-co'd 202 with extractors etc. similar to yours, after the last one siezed. Not quite as shiny and shmick as yours tho ;D And looking to chuck on a Pod. Cheers

Yeah Ben it is a bit of a pain sticking my arm down thru the hole in the floor to change it to reverse or into park. Yes I have a mig and a stick or Arc Welder as well.If you could post some pics of what it should look like that will give me a head start, Thanks :) :) :)

hey mark
no sorry dont know the part number and that but I can tell u I bought them both from rare spares...I found out about the hot air in the pod cause we had the probe thing up the exhaust testing the mixtures and found that when it was at a set of lights idleing the mixtures were all over the place but when driving it was perfect so we stoped and did a home made shield with some cardboard and cable ties and it fixed the problem so then I fabricated the little shield which stops the hot air been thrown up from the fan and also helps with the cool air coming from the bonnet scoop...
Cheers
