i am pretty sure it a getreg 240. it is not the stock opel 4 speed, it has been swapped for a getreg 5 speed.

sounds good, i went down with a couple of the guys i share the shop with to drop the motor and ran into a problem. i got everything off and ready but the speedo cable which according to the manual i need a special tool to get it out. gonna do some reading and see what i can come up with.

You sure it doesnt just screw out? Do you know what gearbox you have? 4 or 5 speed, getrag 240 or opel R25 box perhaps?

Can't wait to see how this thing turns out, already awesome! Best of luck.

[Majend]

Can't say I have ever seen an Opel GT......but I love 'em now! Nice work.

Absolutely beautiful man, I've always loved these cars. They're just so unique and special. I'm sure any route you take with this build will be a good choice.

Only thing that turns me off slightly is the stickers on the rear. If you like 'em of course keep 'em, its your damn car! personally I just feel like it clutters up the rear a bit and they look kind of out of place, but that's just me. Can't wait to see what kind of monster this thing turns into

yeah the stickers are coming off, they were put on by the previous owner. I am a bit afraid that they are going to pull the paint off so i am going to wait till i am ready to have the car painted

This wasn't a real shoot by any means, these were just taken for my insurance agent.

plans sounds good but could you hit me up with a high res pic of this beast ? the one in the first page shot from the side with the truck on the right?

i'll ask the guy who took it

it is a bit of franken motor at the moment so i'll list what is in there now and what is going to be there when i'm done.

Right now it is a GM Europe c24ne block with a highly ported and polished head from the original 1.9L head. the head has been ground to run larger valves and converted to a roller cam setup with billet rockers and HD valve springs. The cam is MASSIVE at 278 duration with a total almost a half an inch of valve lift. I put on a Weber 38 downdraft carb on a ported intake manifold. which basically means i had a bored an stroked built motor.

What i am planning is swapping over all the parts that bolt on to the head on to the head that is supposed to go on the 2.4L c24ne and have it ported. I am doing this because i have a set of intake manifolds for that head to run dual webber 45 sidedrafts. the ports on the heads are slightly different which sucks because it means more work but it means almost double the CFM. I am then thinking about 12 to 1 pistons since the motor started burning a little oil and since i am having the head done i thought i should cover all my bases with some rings and i might as well go high comp. In addition i need to have a custom header and exhaust made that will tuck up to the body for better clearance.

I am hoping this doesn't shatter my axles but we'll see...
