Looking for a Oilpan -- 13b into a RX 2
Hello,
I am putting a series 4 turbo motor into my 72 RX 2. I think a 13b GSL SE pan will work if I flip it around right? Does anybody know for sure what oilpan I can use to get this motor into my car? Anybody have a oilpan that, they are willing to sell, that will work with this conversion? If so let me know. David :blue: |
yes. a 5 letter oil pan WILL work. holes will not line up, but not to worry. also will have to do some modification to the oil pick-up. ;)
are you using a 12a front cover? |
Okay. I will figure out how to do the mod to the pickup, once I get the pan.
I knew that the holes would not line up-- nothing that a drill wont take care of. :D I got a front cover off of a 85 GSL SE. The thought was, I would be able to use the turbo metering pump with this cover. (I do not want to run premix). I was also told that I may need a different motor mount. Stock one is quite difficult to use? I am not sure about this. So that quest will be next. Anyways....If anyone has that oilpan, or info on the motor mount I am interested. Contact me. David |
i have done the swap. feel free to PM me with questions.
btw...you *can* use the stock mounts. just not the way they are with a 12a in it. ;) |
Cool....Thanks.
I will definetly take you up on that offer. This is a new adventure for me, as I have never done an extenstive restoration of any type before. I guess you could call me green:p: I have always wanted a kick ass RX 2 for as long as I can remember, and I told myself that one day, when I had the cash, I would do a build like this. So, here I am. I am learning as I go, and am truly grateful for a site like this. What a resource!!! Thanks |
Okay,
I found a guy who has a RX 4 oilpan, and a RX 4 pickup. I think that this will work the same as the GSL SE oilpan, right? |
^^^^^^ Any Help? ^^^^^^:D

check your PM's ;)
