    Would a 500 or so lb game scale work?

    I have no idea how much motors typically weigh.

    I have a bathroom scale?

    I tore down a number of SVX and have one of the not uncommon 5 speed SVXen that I autocross in the Detroit area. Hi Dave and Paul.

    I shipped a number of motors back in the day and the nearest I could nail down a dressed motor (all accessories attached0 was about 405 pounds (shipping weight of palleted motor minus the packagaging materials weighed on my bathroom scale).

    You should have been at Fontana Village last week. There were 3 XT6's at the meet and none of them had an ER27. 2 with EG33's and 1 with a EZ30.

    You guys don't happen to have etcetera eg33 parts laying around do you? I'm likely going to have a shopping list if the SVX at the junkyard is already picked dry

    I have some stuff. I have a friend that probably has anything you would need.

    Shoot me a list at hocrest1 at gmail

    I have a nearly complete '95 SVX with a great motor but a bad tranny I'd like to get rid of complete, if you want plenty to work with. It's got enough parts on it (and a fair enough price tag) to zero it out.

    I also have a couple of barrels of oddball parts.

    You can use a bathroom scale:

    Can I be part of the crew too? Or am I like a bastard child of the family, ie: mailman.

    I posted a video update on my youtube channel.

    I am looking for stock exhaust manifolds at the moment. Anyone? Bueller?

  • Hocrest

    I don't have any, but the manifold's are probably good for about $50.

    I just helped a friend with the swap into his Lego. We used the stock "Y" pipes but cut off the flanges, at the back where it attaches to the 3rd Cat. You can probably get them cheaper if you let people know the rear flanges can be rotten. By doing this you get the 2 cats and the O2 bungs.

    I then made a "Y Collector" out of 2 sections of 1 5/8 and a piece of 3". https://picasaweb.google.com/hocrest1/WeldingProjects

    I'll send you a PM with Nate's contact info.

    Does anyone know who this is? Lemon's videos on their YouTube channel, I'm kind of expecting it to be one of you fine gentlemen.

    Someone else (from the midwest??) ran an SVX in one of the Lemons events about a year or so ago. I think I saw him post on here once or twice as well.
