Hey Guys,
Craig from Melbourne Australia here. Just bought a 72 with a G161 engine. Guy told me I couldnt drive it because brakes were shot. Turns out brakes are fine but engine is not so much. Where would I get a rebuild kit for one of these? Or should I do some kind of conversion?

Heh, you're in the right part of the world, mate. Your friends with the Holden Gemini are what we Yanks would call complete FREAKS with these engines. :D

hi mate Im in Adelaide south Australia, is your G161 the early isuzu Florian/Bellett style or the gemini style? If it is definately a 72 it should be the florian bellett style of g161. They are different engines! (i have a 76 luv with the gemini engine and a florian with the other style).
The earlier engine can be rebuilt but just need to look for the right parts.
engine should look like this....
