Hello all. I have a auto bodied EJ Holden. I was given a 161 red motor and 3 speed box. I had the HR Front end already. Now my problem is as this was auto to start and it was fully pulled apart when i got it I have no idea how to do the cluch setup from the pedal to the fork to enable me to use the clutch. Is it cable or hydraulic or what can I use. ON a tight budget unfortunately. If anyone has pics to that would be great. parts even better

You will need a manual pedal set-up, plus m/cyl, slave cyl & plumbing.
The holes are already in the firewall for the m/cyl mount.
The slave cylinder mounts straight onto the bell housing.
Rather than copy the factory hose & pipe arrangement, it would be easier to use the HD/HR flexible hose which runs from the m/cyl directly to the slave.

I'm assuming the 3spd you have is a crash box? Or is it an all synchro from HK-HG? How are you going to shift it? Column or floor shift?
Have the engine mount brackets been moved on the HR front end to suit the earlier Holden? |

I have done the engine mount swap already and the sump change to. all i needed to figure out was how to set the clutch up from the pedal box which i already have also.not to sure if crash or syncro. the box came with the engine. I also have a floor shift for it to.

What did the engine come from? 161 could be HR, HK, HT or HG. HR was crash box, HK was either and HT-HG is all synchro. |

Attn camry drivers. The accelerator is the skinny pedal on the right. |

The hump is already large enough for most conversions. Dr Terry |
