Heard the thing come into the blocks this arvo. Sounded like a v8 induction note or something crazy!
He got the car back. All up $16k or so for build, conversion, headers, electronics, new clutch etc.
The throttle response is mad when free reved!
Ok, it runs an adaptronic computer, MAP sensor.
25de pistons and stock rods, balanced rebuilt bottom end
12.2:1 comp ratio
ported head with stock valve train still.
Stock 5 speed still and brass button clutch.
$1000 worth of tuned length headers.
It's running 139RWKW @ 5700 at the moment, stock 26 cams are holding it back, and the rest of the exhaust.
So head needs to be machined to accept 280 deg cams with 10.8mm lift, once he save up some dough again.
The engine is so smooth at idle you could balance your loose change on it! (read needs some big cams).
