Some of the 318's I have seen have a remote filter location; does yours have this or is it still on the side of the engine?

Oh, one more point: rear axle is the RA36, non-LSD, with the 741 shaft.

The OP is in SOUTH AFRICA! Different mindset and parts availability there! :salut Exactly PwrWgnDrvr; the local price of a 383, "guaranteed rebuildable" is about +-USD3000, as an indication, incl. gearbox.

Hi all Having gotten my D100 up & running and keeping the rusted farm truck patina on her, I'm toying with the idea of lowering a 500 Caddy motor in it.

Seems to work fine after I reversed previous adjustments to the door. Hine63, any chance that you can supply...

Thanks all!! Jim: will do! Yeah, I'll start on the VIN plate soon; lotsa good info there. Still need to register as well.

Hi all Thought I'd introduce myself before I start asking away; it's plain manners, right?
