purchse of chevy blitz: what to look out for

[james walker]

thanks for the response guys. I actually want to get a blitz for driving around, apart from the asthetics of the beast!

couple of questions:
1/ I have read that the toyota fj45 petrol motors fit in: any further info on this? This would be good as they're cheap and would save the original motor for later should total authenticity be the aim.

2/ Has any one done a diesel conversion on a blitz? I have a perkins 85 hp 4 cylinder diesel at home which I had in mind putting into the vehicle I purchase. Any comments re this?

3/ (ok, more than a couple of questions!) What are the bearings like in blitz's? ie wheel bearings: are these likely to be worn out? obviously depending on miles done etc. and, if they need replacing, are they available?

cheers

James
