Would like an OHV with 3 or 5 bearing crank and alloy head or heads
prefer G161 is PR91 5 bearing GT, most Florian, very late bellett sedan (also g150 is 5 bearing),
early KB20/Chev Luv etc.

but also G160 is PR90 which is 3 bearing with alloy head.

regards, Dave

Also anyone know if later 5 speed boxes bolt up to the OHV blocks?

Hey man, the Isuzu MSG 5-speed gearbox out of the Aussie Gemini does nto bolt up to the Bellett, however the Isuzu MSG 5-speed box out of the PF50/PF60/Isuzu 117 DOHC apparently does.

Also, I think there's a Diesel Rodeo box that bolts up; don't quote me on it but my DOHC 117-powered Bellett GT has a 5-speed box with a push-down reverse - certainly not a Gemini box, but it seems to fit!

Cheers,


Dave

as dave said, rodeo diesel box is a bolt on, but the ratios are terrible.
use a gemini 5 speed (same ratios as a GT) with a rodeo diesel box front casing. they are a straight swap.

best of all is a genuine twin cam 5 speed.
close ratio, and bolt on.

cheers.

use std gemini 1600 pistons and rods.
the 1500 block will bore that far, and are a much better rod.
most of the "race" bellett engines use this arrangement.

ohh, and that takes the '1500' from 1471cc to 1584cc.
