Jordon T Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Hi,Will a Herald 13/60 engine fit straight into a Toledo with a three-rail gearbox? The herald has a Small crank and the Toledo a Large.RegardsJordan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heraldcoupe Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 The sumps are different and will presumably need to be swapped, they certainly do when putting a Toledo engine into a Herald. I can't see any other problems.Small crank is certainly an upgrade, stick with the Toledo inlet manifold though,Cheers,Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustislighterthancarbonfibre Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 bit of a late post but i just done the complete opposite of the this!are you putting in a complete Toledo lump or going to be reusing some of the herald parts?

Jordon T Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 Hiya Buddy, I'm currently putting a 13/60 engine into my little Tolly, I've swapped over most of the parts from the Toledos engine. I've matched all the best parts from both engines and put them on the Herald lump reading to be fitted into the car sometime today or tomorrow.Just out interest, Some people have told me to stick with the Stromberg carb and its Intake manifold. But then other people say stick with the Toledos SU and Its Intake. Which is best?Jordan :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is best?Jordan :)twin su :pi dont think its makes a massive difference i went with the twin SU because the manifold it SO much easier to take on and off :pthat and the centre stud on my single Stromberg carb had snapped so i would of had to source a new one (was on a budget :p) i know the 'fuel economy' goes down with the su's and there a little harder to set up.

Mark Hammond Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Ah yes he did, but he might have been assumptive that all 13/60s are small crank as many are... Then again, he might have known which crank it was...BTW Bill, I've still got a Toledo front panel of yours! When do you want me to drop it off? I might be in Swindon later this month/early September. You gonna be around?Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can let me know a day or two before your down this way I can tailor my week around you,Cheers,Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
