What can you tell me about how that one got to be 2,4? Normal iron head? What clutch? What gearbox? I want to see photos!
I love Opel too. Built two Ascona B which I rallied in late 80´s and 90´s. ANTE Malmgren built the engines, 2,0 with 48 Weber. The 2,4 litre I believe is a bored 2,2 litre engine which was in the model Opel Rekord. Or else it´s the 16V which was in 400. I don´t know ...
