Re: 24V Conversion - Flywheel Adapter Options

Hi Kevin - I can’t find that email anywhere, please send again (I’m not on Facebook 🙃) I’m discovering how hard it is to find a solid flywheel for the 24V 3.0 (ie to use with an adapter rather than the existing flex plate).

24V Conversion - Flywheel Adapter Options

Hi Guys, I’m working through the last of the engine mods for dropping a 3.0 litre 24V V6 into my GTV6 - donor engine is from a 1998 166 (automatic). It seems that there are options available now to use a CNC billet adapter plate on the 166 flywheel rather than rebalancing the original transaxle flyw...

Re: 166 24v into 116 GTV

Hey Kevin - did you fabricate the threaded tubes yourself or are they available somewhere “off the shelf” by chance??

Considering how slowly my build is progressing I could do with an easy addition to the parts bin :D

Re: 166 24v into 116 GTV

I just PM Ed him on the 4x4 forum - no chance he is selling these, I just scored a “spare” adapter when he modified his design! Exceptionally talented fabricator....

Re: 166 24v into 116 GTV

Must be something in the air – I have also just started cutting out baffles to fit the 116 sump to a 166 24V: https://s25.postimg.cc/4jq9bmikv/Lower_sump4.png https://s25.postimg.cc/46yv5fslb/Lower_sump3.png PietereQ: that CNC file for the splash plate will be very welcome :D – PM sent I’m also head...
