1966 Isuzu Bellett 1600GT review from South Africa
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My con rod for the number 2 piston broke and this caused a major problem,
with the original block.I subsequently
mated a Chevrolet Luv G161 engine block
1975-model with my original cylinder
head.The car still runs beautifully
with the original twin S-U carburettor
configuration.
