Beauties!!!!! So is this in a Holden? I don't know the JC well enough to tell the engine bay. Although it does kind of remind me of a Mazda engine bay.

ok, gotcha. Wasn't sure because you said 20b Cosmo and Holden.
But nice, very nice, you have a pick or any info on how they hooked the t56 up to the 20b?

Do you have pictures of the T-56 adapter?

Do you know which clutch, flywheel, and starter were used?

I can't remember exactly what box it is, but Pac Performance make an adapter to bolt up a Holden or ford box to the 20B, I am sure its the T56.

Am about to fit an S4 box to my cosmo now that the auto is dead. Hope it holds, should be ok with new bearings.

Yeah. That StormTrooper did a good job on the polishing. What is this guy using for a rearend? Are the Cosmo rearends strong enough for such torque?

Wow. That's awesome. Don't have the cash right now for one... and I'm still trying to figure out how to get one licensed to be driven on the streets here... there are all sorts of rumors like "its the same chasis as a 929, so register it as that", "register it as a custom car" "register it as a rebuilt 929 with a 929 VIN"... the list goes on and on... but as soon as I actually get a REAL answer on how to get one on the roads over here... I'll get ahold of you. Dead serious.
