1990 E16SE with an F13 WR with 3.74 FD!

I conteplated changing engines and i came to a decision to go for it. It won't cost me a great deal as i already have carb's/cam etc.

Gonna get Bill to work his magic and get the bottom end re-bored and arp bolts.

I assumed that the gearbox was gonna be a c/r one but i found to my suprise that its a W/R! So i'm on the lookout for a 4.18 FD as the 3.74 in it is gonna make the gearing way too long. If need be i could use the 3.94 out of my F10 but i'd prefer a bit more acceleration from a 4.18.

AS it is at the moment it would thereoticaly do 160mph at 6500rpm in top lol.

hope to get it on road in about 6-weeks so i'll be running round Donny on th27th with my 1.3 still :).

i've got a W/R 3.74 on my GSi, same engine. got the gearbox from the scrappy and wasn't too fussed about ratios at the time, but it takes AGES to get anywhere in it! keeps on going through all the gears though and still pulling at 115mph :D
